Join author Alastair Chisholm for fun with Sylvester, the cheekiest creature in the sea! What will he do next, and can anybody stop him? Featuring hilarious art by Alex Willmore, it’s a counting book with a VERY naughty octopus – so wave your tentacles, practice your tickling, and enjoy this tale of seaside silliness! This will be a storytelling event with a drawing activity (pencils and paper provided). Alastair is the winner of Blackwell’s Children’s Book of the Year, The Queen’s Knickers Award and Scottish Book Trust’s Bookbug Prize.
