James Carter visits book festivals, and libraries - as well as museums and arts centres - all over the UK. He is also a regular visitor/workshopper at the Roald Dahl Museum in Great Missenden in Buckinghamshire.
For the last few years, James has been a regular performer at the Sunday Times Oxford Literature Festival as well as the Off The Shelf Festival in Sheffield where he has visited libraries, hospitals, schools and has given INSET sessions to teachers and librarians.
In libraries and at book festivals, James gives two seperate public performances for children:
> Hey Little Bug!
A gentle, fun and interactive session for 3-6 year olds and their parents. Action rhymes, music and poems aplenty full of bugs, bubbles, puddles, pirates, dinosaurs and travelling around the world - all of which feature in James’ brand new collection Hey, Little Bug! poems for little creatures.
Duration - 1/2 hour
> World of Weird
A madcap session from the quirkiest and liveliest poet/guitarist in town. See James perform a range of wonderfully weird and fantastically strange poems from his collections Cars Stars Electric Guitars and Time-Travelling Underpants. Come and discover that in the World of Weird, Mary didn’t have a little lamb but a slug that came to a sticky ending! Talking of sticky - did you know that Goldilocks was a dab hand at cooking porridge? Perfect for 7-777 year olds. Why not bring along your own air guitar and join in?
Duration - up to 1 hour
> Themed Workshops
Rap writing and other themed workshops also available.
