SUMMARY:James Turner and Steve May Author Event
DESCRIPTION:About James Turner and Steve May\nJames has been making comics for almost as long as he’s been making poos.

His other interests include board games\, improv and making explosion noises with his mouth. \nSteve has been a lifelong doodler\, studying fine art and film making in Nottingham and animation at the Royal College of Art in London. He has honed his scratchy\, spontaneous anarchic illustration style to make him the perfect partner for some of today’s leading children’s authors\, including Francesca Simon\, Harry Hill and Phil Earle\, as well as the bestselling Dennis the Menace fiction series. He has had a poo-tastic time working on this book \nWebsite: http://www.stevemay.biz/home/contact.php \nJames Turner on Instagram (@eruditebaboon)  \nJames Turner on X (@eruditebaboon) \nSteve May on Instagram (@stevemaythe1st) \nWhat to expect from the event\nProfessor Poo and Ploppy\, aka the POO CREW\, are on a mission: to prove that poo is the most important substance in the Whole Entire Universe. \nJoin James Turner and Steve May as they introduce Poo Crew Adventures: Journey to Poo-topia\, a fast-paced adventure bringing together clever\, funny storytelling with lots of amazing facts and tapping into kids’ fascination with all things poo-related!
