There's a Crocodile in the House

Paul Cookson has been visiting schools and festivals for 30 years now, performing his work and leading workshops.  This collection brings together many of his performance favourites for the first time. Like pantomime – but with better rhymes, Paul’s shows are instantly memorable, always fun and the best time you can have in a school hall.  He is also Poet in Residence for The National Football Museum, Poet Laureate for Slade and was commissioned by Everton Football Club to write their season ticket poem “Home” – which can be seen as a video on Youtube etc.  Currently he is involved with Don Powell from Slade and songwriter Les Glover, where they are writing new material and performing as Don Powell’s Occasional Flames  If he has any time left he reads lots of books, listens to music and plays one of his eight ukuleles. Not at the same time though. He’s not that clever. Liz Million is a crazy, lively Illustrator and Author of children’s books and she likes to think that she has THE best job in world. When she isn’t painting and writing books in her little studio in the North East, she spends a lot of time travelling the world talking to eager children in amazing schools, libraries and museums! Her favourite things to draw with children are cartoony animals and crazy creatures. She graduated from Kingston upon Thames University in 1998 after her Illustration degree and was snapped up by a publisher straight away and she has been illustrating ever since. Liz loves living in Darlington with her lovely husband, her crazy son, George and her cute Bedlington terrier, Peggy
