Special Author Rhyme and Story Time

Helen Hancocks is coming to Lincoln Central Library on Wednesday 28 October for a rhyme and story time session. She's both an author and an illustrator, so the morning is built around the two things she does: writing and drawing.

It starts with a reading of her book, I Really Want to Be a Cat, which is the story that sets the tone for the rest of the hour. From there, she leads a rhyme time for the children, and then the session turns practical. She'll show them how to draw animals, and they'll get to make their own cat craft to take home with them. It's a good mix of listening and doing, so the kids aren't just sitting still the whole time.

If you've got little ones who enjoy stories and don't mind getting a bit creative, it's a nice way to spend a mid-morning. The library is on Free School Lane, right in the centre of town, and the session runs from 10.30am to 11.30am on Wednesday 28 October.
