If you tuned into
CiTV on Nov 15th to see maisie Smith reading
Stinky! on
Bookaboo, you might have been confused to find
Julia Jarman's book,
Kisses Are Yuk! on instead.
Sorry about that - turns out that the Powers-That-Be changed the schedule dates, so it was on the following day instead. Duh! Hopefully you enjoyed Kisses Are Yuk! just as much (well, hopefully not quite as much...).
Anyway, if the shake-up meant you didn't manage to catch Stinky! the first time round, he is on again TODAY at 12.00pm and 3.15pm. 
The episode is also repeated on Monday
Dec 20th, Thursday
Jan 6th at the same times, and then on Sunday
Jan 16th on ITV1 at 7.10am.
And not only that: if you live down-under in Oz, you can see both series 1 and 2 of Bookaboo on ABC2 on weekends at 08:00 from 4th December through to mid January, and on weekdays at 09:40 from 7th December. Which means you get to see the hunky Robson Green read Class Two at the Zoo as well!
So, no excuse for missing it this time!
I just got back from a thoroughly inspiring weekend at the
SCBWI conference (
Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators). I'll tell you more about it shortly, when I have more time (it was way down in Winchester, so I've loads of train sketches to show you too).
Today though, despite my mile-long 'To Do' list, I have really got to get on with reworking a text, while the buzz is still with me!
They are a lovely bunch at the SCBWI, and I would urge you to check them out if you are in the biz. 
Before I go though: a quickie reminder that my book with Ian Whybrow, Stinky! goes out on Bookaboo TODAY on CiTV, at 12:00 and 15:15. It is to be read by Maisie Smith of Eastenders.
OK, when I say 'we', my role was, in truth, fairly minimal. What I really mean is, the wonderful Happy Films team that put together the CITV show Bookaboo won - and well done to them! My small claim to a tiny part of their fame, is that Class Two at the Zoo featured as one of the 13 episodes.
Bookaboo's victory as BEST CHILDREN’S PROGRAMME came at last week's Broadcast Awards. We were in prestigious company, pitted against emmy award-winning drama, Dustbin Baby, Scorpion Island, Horrible Histories and more. The win was a unanimous decision by the judges, who added that the show was “warm, and totally original” and "as appealing to the adult audience as it was to the children’s”.
Bookaboo also won the pre-school BAFTA award at the end of last year, proving that our friend the rock-drumming, book-loving puppy truly does appeal to children of all ages.
If you still haven't caught the show, do watch out for the repeats: the stories are all read by your favourite celebs, and they do a great job!
Don't forget: CITV on November 15th at 12.00, and after school at 3.15pm.
I will of course keep you posted about who they decide is going to be the wee, smelly warthog's new friend, and when it is scheduled to be broadcast.
Love the blog, have just started one of my own and a huge inspiration to see how creative a blog can be!
Keep up the great work!
P.S Love, love, love the 'Insulator' poster, quite possibly best gift ever recieved
Thanks Michael. Glad you like my Insulator too!
So good to meet you - loved your talk - watching illustrators as work is like magic to me...
