讓孩子愛上閱讀的方法很多，帶孩子參加童書作家新書發表及簽書會是最好玩又有效的一種，聽著作者親自演繹和讀出自己的作品，透過遊戲認識書中人物和情節，與作者近距離交流和在新書上簽名，都是能讓孩子愛上看書的過程。
無論你的孩子已經是愛讀書的小書蟲，或者還未曾領略閱讀的樂趣，這個星期六的童書作家見面會，都是最適合小學程度小讀者的活動（如果孩子也是 Stuart Gibbs 的小粉絲，記得帶上你的書，或者在現場買書，帶給他簽名留念喔！）

Maryrose Wood is the author of the first five books in the series about the Incorrigible children and their governess.
