'Cuddle Muddle' - a new preschool picture ebook published by British children's author, Alan Dapré

June 7, 2012 - PRLog -- Alan Dapré has traditionally published well over 50 books, across a range of genres. His plays are read widely in schools, and he has had much success writing storybooks for Hodder, based on Brum - the long  running UK smash hit TV show.

After many years writing for television, Alan returns to writing children's picture story books. An accomplished illustrator, he has created a new character - Wee Panda Bear - who is sure to become a firm favourite with preschool children.

A former Deputy Head teacher, Alan is dedicated to sparking children's imaginations through his stories and illustrations.

"I have lots of experience working with children and the key is to listen to them, and to build on their energy and spontaneity," explains Alan. "My writing is full of fun and comedy, and I love to surprise my readers too. Digital publishing has undergone a revolution and I am keen to explore this ever changing medium - because it is a very creative way of reaching new readers."

'Cuddle Muddle' tells the tale of Wee Panda Bear who loses her wee black glasses when she falls out of bed. Still sleepy, she bumbles off and gets in a muddle. Wee Panda Bear hugs a hippo and cuddles a surprised croc ... and won't stop until she gets a cosy cuddle from Big Bear.

Alan Dapré has created a funny, sunny story which is perfect for sharing at bedtime. He sees it as the start of a series of 'Wee Panda Bear' adventures, and is busy writing the sequel.
