Test your knowledge by guessing if the facts are true or false and then submit your own animal facts for the competition. Entries drawn at random will win a paperback copy of Evie and the Animals book by the same author and illustrator. Matt Haig.

You can get all the info about this when you arrive at reception.

Find your next favourite book at the second-hand bookstore at Colby. There will be books for all ages and interests and in fact this bookstore is open most of the year for you to enjoy, not just for World Book Day Weekend
