Event details

Join Alan Windram author of the One Button Benny series of books for storytelling, songs and some robot dancing at St Ninians Library! Hear Alan read from his latest book ‘One Button Benny and the Dinosaur Dilemma’. Benny and his robot friends are back with a fantastic new adventure in this third book in the award-winning One Button Benny picture book series – this time there is a very unhappy dinosaur to contend with.

It’s the weekend and that means it’s party time in robot town. Benny and his friends decide they need a bit more “robot dancing” practice before the big night. They bounce and boogie, jump and twirl, then disaster strikes when they tumble into a huge sinkhole and come face to face with a large angry dinosaur, who is not happy about being woken up.

Will Benny have to press his “Emergency Button”? Can they escape being crushed and eaten by the dinosaur? Will they make it back in time for the party?

With beautiful retro-style illustrations by award-winning illustrator Chloe Holwill-Hunter, this is a story about friendship, working together, coping with problems and the uniqueness of us all as individuals.

Event for younger children and families as part of Stirling Science Festival 2023.
