Details

My name is Calum Dewsbury, I'm a children's book author with 2 books on the market, 'There's a Monster in My Tent' and 'An Adventure in My Tent.' I live in the Wigan area and I currently do not drive, therefore it should be considered that I would need the time to get to the venue via public transport when requesting me for an event. 

My books are aimed at Key Stage One children, and I have done readings for various schools, both in a Primary School and library setting. I am happy to take direction of anyone that makes an order, however my events have generally involved the following: 

  • Introductory question by myself to the class (what is your favourite book)
  • Reading of my first book (There's a Monster in My Tent)
  • Drawing activity (Draw what you think the monster would look like)
  • Question to the class to introduce my 2nd book (what is your favourite animal)
  • Reading of my 2nd book (An Adventure in My Tent)
  • Discussion around my 2nd book (Usually around the different locations and animals within the book)
  • 2nd rawing activity (The book ends at the main character's paradise island, so I get the children to draw theirs)
  • Q&A session with me. 

Please feel free to ask any more questions of me.

Books by Calum Dewsbury

I have written 2 books: - 'There's a Monster in My Tent,' where the little girl and her mum look to discover who, or what, is making the noises coming out of her tent, having been woken up in the middle of the night. - 'An Adventure in My Tent', where the little girl takes a journey around the world on her white winged horse, visiting many different locations on the way to her favourite place. Who, though, is pursuing her, and is it friend or foe?
