Natasha from Chicken and Frog – Brentwood’s only independent children’s bookshop popped into the Phoenix FM studio today to tell Xanthe about all the wonderful events they are hosting. For example:

Saturday 22nd November, 11-11:30/2-2:30
Meet the Gruffalo!

Chicken and Frog have been awarded the prestigious ‘Julia Donaldson Independent Bookshop of the Month’ for November and to celebrate, the Gruffalo is coming in for a cuddle. Do come and say hello – bring your cameras!

Local speech therapist, Anna Johnston, will be here for informal drop-ins – come and ask her advice!

Saturday 29th November @ 15:00
Meet author Nicholas Allan
Nicholas Allan is the author/illustrator of over thirty children’s books.
Many of his books are bestsellers, including The Queen’s Knickers, Father Christmas Needs a Wee, Jesus’ Christmas Party, Cinderella’s Bum, Heaven, and Where Willy Went.
And you get to meet him!!

£2 per child, redeemable against the cost of a book on the day – we need to know numbers because there will be a fab workshop with Nicholas. Call 01277 230068, email, Face Book, tweet or pop in to book your child’s space.

Saturday 29th November, 14:00-16:00
Christmas Helpers’ Grotto
