Radio Lollipop Edinburgh celebrated World Book Day yesterday with live book readings from some of the best loved children’s books, read by two volunteer bedtime readers.
Hanna Nowers and Katie Hibbins visit children at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh to read them bedtime stories. They joined the Thrilling Thursday team to read live on air to all of the children at once. Hanna and Katie read from ‘The Best Loved Bear’ by Diana Noonan and Elizabeth Fuller, ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’ by C.S Lewis and ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ by J.K Rowling. The three books were all chosen by children in the hospital who also had lots of fun completing competition sheets and activities about books.
Radio Lollipop would like to thank Denise Claxton, Voluntary Services Manager, for organising the readings and Hanna and Katie for reading so beautifully on Radio Lollipop.
