In this fun, interactive event for 4-10 year olds, award-winning author-illustrator John Fardell introduced his new picture book The Day Louis Got Eaten and talked about his artwork, sketches and models. The event involved the young fans in the audience in plenty of participation. Gobbling, gurgling and gulping monsters feature as do amazing chase-and-rescue vehicles.
