It was everything and more. The exhibitions were like stepping into your favourite children's books and made me feel like a kid again. I even had a go a being Alice, Little Red Riding Hood and Mr Fox! It was so inspiring to see authors and illustrator's work up close and personal and I loved seeing all the sketchbooks and work in progress.

It was great to see all the children reading the books and becoming interactive with the characters, dressing up and discovering new worlds of fancy. One minute you are going through a rabbit hole and the next you are transformed into a borrower sitting on a giant cotton reel.

So many dummy books! |
As always I had to go into the attached bookstore and was so happy and excited to see the book I illustrated The Three little Pigs for Ladybird Books. I have never seen it in any bookstore before so it made my day!
