Each show lasts 30 minutes and is created for Key Stage 2. All you need to do is download the accompanying free resource pack before the day, and make sure your class has pens, pencils and paper at the ready.

Season's Readings Show 2024: Joseph Coelho, Big Manny and Huw Aaron

Monday 2 December 10:00AM

Join us in the Puffin Library on Monday 2nd December at 10am, for a 30-minute educational show filled with festive fun!

  • Former Children’s Laureate Joseph Coelho will give a reading of his new Christmas story, The Christmas Tree Mouse, and will be challenging classes to come up with their own chaotic Christmas catastrophes.
  • Author of Science is Lit and TikTok star Big Manny will be teaching us all about the elements, and will be doing an exciting science experiment in real time that you can do as a class!
  • And author and illustrator Huw Aaron will be giving us an exclusive sneak peek of his yet to be published book, Sleep Tight, Disgusting Blob, teaching us that even the scariest of monsters have boring and basic bedtime activities (…like brushing your teeth!). He’ll be encouraging classes to dream up their own boring bedtime routines for their own monsters.

Download the Mission Pack before you watch the show, with all the activities and worksheets you need to take part!

The event is streamed through YouTube Premiere, and a YouTube player is embedded in the Puffin Schools website in order to stream. Please check your school’s website permissions to ensure that YouTube isn’t blocked ahead of time.
