Children's Book Events

If you love books and reading then you will be seriously missing out if you don't come along to Jewish Book Week 2006. Whether you have been before or not, this year promises to be bigger and better than ever.

Every year Jewish Book Week runs a day of children's book events. In 2003 Anthony Horowitz talked to a packed audience of young people. Click here to check out the session in the archive.

In 2004 we made the programme bigger and had two fantastic events. The Bible Story House team led an action packed session called Abraham and his Three Visitors, which included singing, drawing and lots of games. click here to check out that session in the archive. And, Francesca Simon, the fabulous creator of the Horrid Henry series talked about her monstrously enjoyable creation, Horrid Henry, the hateful boy everyone loves, to a captivated audience of young people, click here to check out the session in the archive.

The children's programme for Jewish Book Week 2006 was our biggest so far. We had some fantastic events for all ages. We hosted the book launch for Inside Anne Frank's House a new book filled with pictures, illustrations and excerpts from Anne's diary . Michael Rosen entertained us with stories, rhymes, songs and even an introduction to Yiddish. Mekella Broomberg swept us away on a magic-filled storytelling journey through ancient Jewish folklore. And Sherry Ashworth and Graham Marks, two acclaimed authors for teens revealed secrets behind their writing techniques. Click here for more details on those sessions. Jewish Book Week 2006 will run for both children and grown ups from Saturday 25th February to March to Sunday 5th March at the Royal National Hotel, Bedford Way, London WC1.. We'll keep you updated with the programme as soon as it's confirmed.
