Duncan’s books - filled with humour, heart and memorable animal heroes - have made him a favourite for children aged three to eight years and anyone who enjoys lively, creative tales with a positive message.

Each of the hour-long interactive sessions at 10:30 am, 1.00 pm and 2.30 pm on 13 December will consist of a live reading by the author, followed by a fun ‘create your own band name’ activity designed to spark children’s imagination.

Tickets are £3.50 for one child and one accompanying adult. Places are limited and early booking is recommended. Signed copies of Heavy Metal Badger will also be available for purchase.

Kingston Myles, director of enterprise and innovation at Birmingham Museums Trust, said: “We are delighted to be hosting this special family-friendly event at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery.

“Museums can provide a physical space to connect with the topics and themes found in books.

“With the Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero exhibition currently on display, this event combines literacy with tangible, real-world experiences and offers our youngest visitors a way to engage with the stories that shape our city.”
