5th – 13th May 2012 – Linton, Cambridge
Welcome to Linton Children's Book Festival 2012.
Nick Arnold’s Horrible Science Best Bits Show will be at the Linton Children’s Book Festival on Saturday 12th May. Nick says “Be brave – be very brave but not too brave – Linton has never been so horrible”!
The show is suitable for family audiences consisting of children aged 6-14 and their parents. Be prepared for fast, funny, furious and noisy!
Afterwards enjoy all the drop in science and gooey hands on experiments we can think up for you to try!

We are delighted to announce that Lynne Chapman best selling author and illustrator for well over 20 years will be visiting the Linton Children’s Book Festival in 2012.
She says “writers and illustrators spend far too long in the company of their computer or drawing board, so I love it when I get the chance to escape to the real world for a while and meet some of the children that read my books.”
At the Linton Children’s Book Festival Lynne will be doing a storytelling session for younger children and an illustration workshop for children aged 7+.
Keep checking the website for details on how to book.

Ollie Keller and Catriona Holden impressed the judges with their inspired designs for a Book Festival brochure.
Congratulations to them both – definitely two young talents to keep an eye on!

Tucked into the back of the LVC near the Art Department and the Granta School. I hear all went very well and the Bus custodians were very impressed with the behaviour and interest of the pupils who visited.
At this moment it is parked at the Junior School and pupils will see it in the morning and Linton Infants School will have access in the afternoon.
Fantastic!
Thank you to Karl Backhurst from The Darryl Nantais Gallery in Linton for arranging this fantastic opportunity to see Sir Peter Blake’s Art. The Bus will be parked outside the Gallery tomorrow afternoon until the end of Saturday 8th May.
