Alan Dapré

CHILDREN'S AUTHOR

Hi! I'm Alan Dapré, author of 61 children's books.

I live in Ayrshire, Scotland, overlooking the  Isle of Arran. This magical view inspires me to  write children's books full of fun and adventure.

Alan Dapré is a traditionally published author of 61 books for children. His plays have been broadcast on BBC Radio & used in schools. A TV scriptwriter, whose work was BAFTA nominated, Alan now writes stories for young readers. At festivals, libraries & schools, he delivers lively wordplay packed interactive events based on his books & life as a writer.

As well as books, Alan Dapré has written for televison and radio:

Let me think. Hmm. 100+ scripts  for TV,  4 for BBC Radio. Poetry. Magazine articles. I've been busy. I love writing for children. Most recently a book about a grizzly boy who turns into a bear!

'Grizzly Ben' is my latest picture book. Plus  there's 'Porridge the Tartan Cat', a series of seriously silly chapter books. Enjoyable stories, often packed with wordplay, that really get readers thinking and laughing.
