I had fun at Bembridge Library this morning, reading spooky stories, including Hubble Bubble Granny Trouble, by Tracey Corderoy and Joe Berger and Funnybones, by Janet and Allan Ahlberg, as well as my own witchy book, Isabella, Rotten Speller.

We also made some creepy spiders and scary skeletons and some of us did some colouring in. Thank you to all the children who came along (and the grown-ups who brought them.) You were all so attentive during the reading and so very skilful with my (slightly rubbish) scissors during the craft activities. I hope you all enjoyed the morning as much as I did.

Thank you to the volunteers at Bembridge Community Library for making me feel so welcome and joining in the spirit of the event.
