Bob-a-thon Festival
In conjunction with the Bird in the Hand Exhibition the Lu Rees Archives is inviting pre-schools and day-care centres, schools and public libraries to participate in a Bob-a-thon Festival. The aim of the Festival is to engage children with Bob's books in a focussed way, enabling them to experience the fun, joy and positive ideas contained on every page.
