Dan Clacher - Story Time for Kids - Muddy Waters

FREE - Cole’s Bookstore, Crown Walk, Bicester.

As part of Independent Booksellers Week, we are delighted to welcome local children's author, Dan Clacher, to Cole's to introduce his new Muddy Waters stories, including 'Dudley's Dilemma'. Muddy and friends are off to see Dudley in Birmingham. He’s being given a very special waterways award for his hard work. He helps the Oxfordshire boats to deliver their precious cargo of cocoa to the chocolate factory, but soon realises that Jolly Boatman is missing somewhere in the myriad of the city’s canals; does Dudley leave the other boats to find Jolly or does he press on to pick up his prize?
