It's a day of exploring Percy's Park, going on surreal adventures with Kipper the dog and looking at all the bright shapes and colours of the adventures of Maisy and her friends Charlie, Tallulah and Cyril. Choose one of my stories for inspiration for an activity you'll do with your child. Any story, really, good examples include:
- A Brother's Warmth
- Let's Be Friends
- Vortex: A Me, You, And...Legend
- A Weekend With Orko
You could pretend to live a royal life or live in a Crystal Castle, spread your fairy wings and flitter, flutter and fly amongst sweet smelling flowers and frog filled lily ponds or have afternoon tea and cake just like in Furaha and Orko's London apartment. For better effect, watch British Animation Awards' 'Box Of Delights' DVD series - you could explain to each other what's going on with Little Wolf and his older wolf brothers as they try to get one another down from the moon during 'Little Wolf', or dance along with the multi coloured dancers during 'Feet Of Song'. You can also laugh along with the clumsy antics of a crew of sailors during 'Calamity Island'.
For you see, Children's Picture Book Day isn't just about reading, it's about spending time with your child!
