Each child attending this performance will receive a FREE copy of There's a Tiger on the Train to take home and keep!
How did it go?
We were so lucky that Mariesa Dulak and Rebecca Cobb, author and illustrator of the incredible, award-winning There’s a Tiger on the Train came to Milton Keynes to perform to 300 children and teachers.
Mariesa and Rebecca gave an energetic and joyful performance on stage that included live illustration, stories and dancing! And all the children went home with their very own copy of There's A Tiger on the Train to take home and keep!
Mariesa Dulak Workshop
Children will love working creatively with Mariesa Dulak in their classroom. The session will start with a rhyming exercise where Mariesa will guide the class in creating an animal poem together, then there will be time to make a crown and colour it in!
Rebecca Cobb Workshop
In this engaging and interactive storytelling and activity workshop, Rebecca Cobb will read some stories to the children then follow up with a creative drawing activity. It's sure to be fun!
