If you’re aged 2-6 years old, like to draw and fancy winning a copy of this fabulously illustrated, fun and imaginative picture book by author Cath Jones, then listen up!

Cath, who grew up in East Sheen and attended Sheen Mount, recently visited our wonderful local independent Sheen Bookshop and had lots of fun with youngsters, reading from her new book, Bonkers About Beetroot, and making zebra hobby horses that the children took home – perhaps you saw a zebra or two galloping down the high street?

Bonkers About Beetroot has had fantastic reviews and is now on sale at Sheen Bookshop and we have a copy to give away to one lucky winner, to be chosen by Cath!

To enter, simply get your drawing or painting kits out and create a picture of a giant beetroot, a cheerful zebra, a grumpy penguin – or all three! Then pop your name, address, age and contact number on the back and drop your picture in to Roisin at Sheen Bookshop by 30 November 2017. Cath will judge the winner and if it’s you, you’ll receive your prize in the post!

Reviews for Bonkers About Beetroot have been fantastic. The Bookbag blog says:

“Bonkers about Beetroot is a picture book that positively jumps off the bookshelf combining both an intriguing title that shouts ‘read me’ and a wonderful vibrant cover of huge beetroot, a cheery looking Zebra and – best of all – a frowning penguin….

And if an inspired story, humour and amazing illustrations aren’t enough, this book also has a clear and accessible font for young readers, an educational slant about planting seeds and watering them that can be used in the classroom, and a nod to diversity through the illustrations of the safari park visitors. In short, this has everything component of a picture book classic. “

 

TERMS & CONDITIONS: Competition open to children aged 2-6 years old. Prize is one copy of Bonkers About Beetroot by Cath Jones. The winner will be the entrant whose illustration os best as judged and chosen by the author and will be advised by 15 December 2017.
