On the Monday of the tour Loretta and the Maverick Team went to the prestigious venue – the Eden Project. It was great afternoon – with lots of children coming to listen to Loretta read and do some Sonny colouring in. We would like to thank everyone at the Eden Project for supporting this event and making it a lovely day.

Permission given for use of this photo Loretta visited the Islington branch of Waterstone’s on July 2nd, where she read to two classes from Drayton Park Primary School.

The book reading was a success, with everyone having a great time colouring in, listening to the book and meeting Daisy & Fred.

Well Naughty Bear must have annoyed someone, as it rained all day on Saturday. The venue was fantastic, the picnic looked incredible but the British weather wasn’t playing game. However despite this, all three authors were there battling the elements to promote Nice Bear Naughty Bear. Our raffle was a huge success, raising over £384 for Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals Charitable Fund. The raffle was kindly drawn by Katelin Fuller who… Read More »the Teddy Bears picnic!
