Book fest aye

I've not had too much Edinburgh Book Festival action this year - unless you count 22 minutes wandering about while keeping half an eye on the the children bribed into submission with ice cream - hoping they will just sit nicely and finish then off without coming looking for you in the bookshop smearing melting chocolate over everyting...
So, when the school asked for mummy helpers to take the P3 class to see Julia Donaldson - I jumped at the chance! My kids love her books and seeing her live performance was just fab. We were nestled among about 12 other schools - the place was packed! Julia and her team kept beautiful order and the bairns sang along...
My favourite part by far, was the performance of The Gruffalo in Scots - just FANTASTIC! So, if you haven't read it or heard it - especially if you love bonny Scotland - give it a go, g'an yersel!


Here's the piccies from my 22 mins of luxury... can you spot my book? ;)
