Author's reply delights Shrubland Street pupils on book day
Children at an Old Town school were overjoyed when they wrote to one of their favourite authors and received an illustrated reply.
Pupils at Shrubland Street Primary School wrote a biography of Zoo writer Anthony Browne as part of their reading and writing studies and sent it to him to read.
The author replied with a card addressed to the class who wrote the letter - and a sketch of a gorilla.
The card arrived in time for Word Book Day last week, on which pupils dressed as characters from their favourite books.
Headteacher Pat Dorling said: "It was such a nice thing to have. It really gave the kids a boost."
