Animal Agent Library Tour competition winners announced

Over the summer, we toured libraries across the county with our Animal Agents show, which explored nature’s cleverest creatures and tested out their skills of camouflage, super-sense, defence and fighting.

We performed the show, which we ran in partnership with Raintree Publishers and Oxford County Council Library Service, in twenty different venues across Oxfordshire. As a follow-up, we challenged our young audiences to design animal agents of their own, and we had some amazing entries! Tigers were a popular theme, with one of our runner up agents also being ‘stronger than a dragon’. Thanks to everyone who sent in an entry, it was wonderful to see all your creative ideas.

But we could only choose two winners – so well done to:

• Lily (aged 8) whose ‘tigertastic’ agent, Prince, has a cool ice ray as his special gadget.
• George (aged 7), whose agent is a fearsome, 10cm long, insect, the Deadly Mantis!

Both of our winners have been sent a set of books donated by Raintree.
