MAYVILLE’S ANNUAL<br />
BOOK WEEK<br />
AUTHOR VISIT –<br />
WILL MABBITT<br />
In the second of our Book Week author visits, Will<br />
Mabbitt enthralled Pre-Prep & Junior pupils with his<br />
honest and funny talk.<br />
Will shared the inspiration behind some of his<br />
characters, discussed the merits of only being<br />
able to draw worms and offered his top-tips<br />
on where young writers might find ideas,<br />
“Be like the sponge.”<br />
Will staged a competition designed to encourage<br />
pupils to soak up everything around them. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
tested their powers of observation and recall<br />
against a photo of Will’s studio space, which<br />
featured a number of random and strange objects!<br />
Pupils had a chance at the end of each session<br />
to buy books and have them signed.
