During these sessions a simple play would be devised, followed by making of props and costumes, rehearsal and then a performance.

At the end Tiddler gets caught in a net and making his way back home he actually experiences most of the things that he had previously lied about. Despite not knowing the moral of the story, this is a fascinating book and as I read it, I found myself wondering what would happen next. It has subsequently been translated into more than 50 languages, sold over 10 million copies worldwide, and has given rise to stage and screen productions by Tall Stories [6] and Magic Light Pictures. Julia and Malcolm were involved in the Brighton folk club scene, performing floor spots of comedy songs written by Donaldson, often within days of being composed. It is a great book to keep in the classroom, filled with colours and eye-catching illustrations that encourages class participation.

Sharing a Shell is a charming underwater tale of friendship and fun from the stellar picture book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks, creators of What the Ladybird Heard. Elizabeth worked as a part-time secretary and helped her boss, Leslie Minchin, translate German lieder into English. And that is because as he is dreaming up what story to tell Miss Skate a fishing boat comes along and picks him up in a net. One of my television songs, A SQUASH AND A SQUEEZE, was made into a book in 1993, with illustrations by the wonderful Axel Scheffler.

Join a beautiful unicorn with a silver horn and sparkling blue eyes as she grants a rocking horse's wish and turns him into a real horse. The first 36 of these plays, for early readers, were published by Pearson (2013) with a further 24 plays for older primary-school children to following later in the year. She has performed the Donaldson/Scheffler books not only in English but also in German on several tours and at the Berlin Festival. There's a touch of Finding Nemo meets The Boy Who Cried Wolf as young Tiddler is always late for school.

Launch into space with the Smeds and the Smoos in this fun sticker activity book based on the bestselling picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. There is always a strong element of audience participation, with children (and sometimes their parents) invited on stage to act parts in the stories.

Malcolm Donaldson almost always takes part in the events, and they are also often joined by other performers including family members. Their vinyl album First Fourteen(1977) featured many of these songs, while others were included much later on the CD Second Fourteen (2006, when First Fourteen was also re-mastered as a CD). I love the illustrations by Scheffler in this book, so much to explore on each page, also very colourful, great visual. Following the tip, Tiddler finds himself a little closer to home and in earshot of another story he knows!
