Join author Laura Jeffcote for a reading of her children’s book Spider Hair.

Author Book Reading: Spider Hair

Reading of Spider hair followed by cut and stick activity.

Spider Hair is about a small boy called Bear, who wants more hair. It was inspired by Laura’s childhood memories of her pets, often the source of great hilarity. She suggests that there’s probably not many children who haven’t tried to wear their cat, guinea pig or hamster, as a wig. It’s also about spiders and the bad rap they get.

Please go to the top of the page to book a ticket for each child attending. Adults do not require a ticket, however all children must be accompanied by an adult.
