Benny and his friends decide they need a bit more ‘robot dancing’ practice before the big night. Disaster strikes when they tumble into a huge sinkhole and come face to face with a large angry dinosaur, who is not happy about being woken up. Join author Alan Windram for storytelling, singing and some robot dancing! A firm favourite with Glasgow audiences, One Button Benny, the first book in the series was awarded the Scottish Book Trust Bookbug Picture Book Prize. Unmissable WestFest highlight for children ages 3-6 years and families. Author book signing.
Free, drop-in.
