John Dougherty




What’s a school visit like?
Well...
...lots of fun.

His sessions with schools were outstanding -firstly for his ability to provide a dramatised reading of his books, the variety of material in his events, and most importantly of all his ability to enthuse and inspire children, teachers and parents in his work and in the power of books.

So it’s worth booking a visit, then?
