Illustrator Nicola Slater is trying to give author Stuart Heritage a drawing lesson over a video-call, let's hope it goes better than one of Jonathan the Magic Pony's magic tricks (they have a tendency to go a little bit wrong). Join in the draw-along and then afterwards prepare to be amazed by Stuart's own magic trick. For the draw-along you will need a pen and paper, and if you want to add a little extra sparkle grab some glue and crafty bits'n'bobs, like glitter, tissue paper or pipe cleaners.
Puffin Dreamer Challenge: Draw your own Jonathan the Magic Pony and then imagine what might happen if one of his magic tricks went wrong . . .
Grown-ups: Don't forget to share dreams and drawings using #PuffinDreamer or emailing PuffinDreamer@penguinrandomhouse.co.uk
About the book: Jonathan the Magic Pony is a brilliant magician. With one wave of his magic wand he can make anything disappear. Boomf! And because he’s such a brilliant magician, with one more wave he can make things come back too. It’s foolproof. Failsafe. Always works. Or does it? The brightest, most magical picture book with amazing illustrations.
