Mayo Agard-Olubo, author of the “ingenious” (Mo Siewcharran Prize) debut picture book Kid Rex to the Rescue, will be hosting a creative session “full of dinosaurs and superheroes” as part of a carousel of events for Waterstones Children’s Book Festival in Taunton.

The event starts on Saturday 16th May at 12:30 and is all about how “the world around us can inspire magical stories” and will guide them on how to use their greatest superpower: imagination.

Don’t miss out on what will be a great event; grab your tickets here.

Meet Max, an ordinary kid with extraordinary dino powers…

It may look like a messy bedroom that needs to be tidied, but for Max it’s…a new mission for KID REX!

As Max’s imagination transforms him into undefeated superhero Kid Rex, he’s ready to use his dinosaur powers to battle past a giant sea dragon, rolling robots and even a dust bunny army! Can Kid Rex – and his sidekick Dino Dad – defeat the evil King Dust Bunny and return the residents of Toy Town safely to their homes?

A celebration of the imagination, Kid Rex brings adventure and magic to the mundane, making everyday tasks exciting and fun.
