A brand new laugh-out-loud, fully illustrated collection of stories starring Tom Gates and his friends, family and foes! In 2016 Pichon created the "Kids' Tapestry", a children's version of the Bayeux Tapestry, featuring historical events to the mark the 950th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings. Creator Liz Pichon also appears in the episodes in a live-action segment in which she gives ideas for creating artwork inspired by the series. Tom's doing everything possible to stay out of trouble but somehow he's got THREE sad faces on the school achievement chart! While it may seem that World Book Day dressing up was an invention devised purely to send parents into a frenzy, kids really do adore the chance to don a costume and take a more detailed look at their favourite book characters.

Time-poor and not at all sewing-savvy Phoebe Doyle has some simple suggestions for effective World Book Day costumes that won’t break the bank. As the children get excited over book week, it can leave us parents feeling more than a little stressed! Stay up-to-date on the latest Tom Gates news, meet his friends and family, get creative with some doodle-tastic activities and read all about Liz Pichon! It's a weeks worth of doodling, games, stories and woolly monster making (because everyone needs one of those, don't they?

Aged around 10 years old, Tom is the younger of the two children of Frank and Rita Gates, and the younger brother of Delia. The heavily illustrated novels, in handwritten font with Tom’s doodles and pictures embellishing the text, document in hilarious detail his everyday trials and tribulations at home and school which all kids can relate to. She says things like “no one will even NOTICE you’re wearing a bin liner” to Tom, which is not true, but somehow, she manages to get him to do it. Paint your child’s face pink using face paints, and dress them in a pink top, denim dungarees and black plimsolls. You’ve helped me become more organised with the schedule of things, but without the pressure I was putting myself under before.As always, it has been an absolute pleasure collaborating with our colleagues at Tom Gates Entertainment, Poetic Brands, Aykroyds and Roy Lowe. His grandparents are Frank's parents Granny Mavis And Granddad Bob that Tom refers to as "The Fossils", while Rita's parents are known as "The Wrinklies". If there is a specific area of learning your child needs support with, our packs offer information, advice and plenty of engaging practical activities. She’s not a very good traveller though, so never sit next to her on a coach (or on anything that moves, to be honest), unless you enjoy watching her change COLOUR.
