Booster Cushion Theatre Big Book Visits London's Book Benches!

The Booster Cushion Theatre team visited the Books About Town Book Benches recently. We had a great time following some of the trails and enjoying the views of London from the benches. Our Big Books got to come with us to! Our first blog post will be about the Big Book Tall Tale book visiting the Terry Pratchett's Discworld book bench. It seemed the most fitting considering Big Book Tall Tales is set in a library and has the biggest book - a 6ft wearable rainbow book!
