Catherine Forde Fifteen Minute Bob June 2010
Catherine Forde Fifteen Minute Bob Launch
We were very lucky to have Cathy Forde launching her new title Fifteen Minute Bob here at Scottish Book Trust in June. Cathy not only introduced her new book to the pupils but she introduced them to the music legend that is Bob Dylan.
You can view the pictures from the event below and find out more about Cathy's Fifteen Minute Bob in song lyrics by clicking here!
We had Cathy as our virtual writer in residence. To check out video podcasts click on the Play Button opposite.

Teacher Feedback:
"The event was brilliant! The cookies, the ICT input (the kids were on the net on their phones on the train home listening to Bob!), the venue (they loved being in the building "down the wee close!") and the speaker. All great!" Claire, Dunfermline High School
