Summer Holidays Kids Book Club: 'War Dog'

21st August 2025

The Happy Reading Children’s Bookshop

A joyful 30-minute storytime and craft session for ages 4+ during the Summer Holidays at the Happy Reading Children's Bookshop at Staple in St Peters

9.30am - 10am

Discover the incredible true story of Judy, the only dog officially registered as a prisoner of war, in this moving new picture book by bestselling author Tom Palmer and illustrator Carolina Rabei.

Join Nicci at Happy Reading Children’s Bookshop for a special read-along and thoughtful creative activity inspired by War Dog, which gently introduces young readers to themes of bravery, loyalty and hope.

Each £5 ticket includes a paperback copy of War Dog, published by Scholastic and available from 14th August.

There are a couple of seats for adults who wish to attend with their children, otherwise adults will be expected to stand and watch from the main shop area, or enjoy a lovely coffee and pastry downstairs in STAPLE.
