Kellogg’s Free Books Promotion
I am delighted that Clementine-Rose and the Surprise Visitor has been included as one of the books being offered by Kelloggs in their Free Books promotion. What an honour to be in the company of some amazing children’s writer including Belinda Murrell, Felice Arena, Rachel Spratt, George Ivanoff and many more.
The offer ends on 8 April 2017 and you can receive up to 3 books (meaning you have to buy 6 boxes of selected cereals) – so we have included a fabulous (and healthy) snack recipe to get you eating:)
