Scotch the Scare-go

Some lovely feedback about my books: "My great grandson loves them, they are brilliant. He will be delighted that there is another episode to enjoy. These books help to solve many problems that kids encounter and are a brilliant addition to any child's library. 5 stars."

Many people have asked me who my illustrator is. His name is Dave Clark and he's great. Here's just one example from my first book Scotch the Scare-go. #kidlit #kidlitart #digitalart #procreate #photoshop #art #picturebooks #characterdesign #childrensbook #childrensillustration

A lovely email from a happy customer: "I read the books to my grandson and he's now off to nursery for the first time with the red tartan in one pocket and the yellow in the other. They've given him a lot of courage - thank you!" scotchbooks.com

As I approach 2,500 orders for my book, I'm thrilled to think it's been delivered to all points of the compass. From Shetland to Penzance, N Ireland to Dover and all points in between. It's even been taken to NZ, Australia and Canada. Scotch the Scare-go is going places!

And one more: "Don’t ever stop writing. I bought the Scare-go series for my Grandchildren and they love them. They keep bombarding me with questions about him, in particular why the colour of his kilt changes from Red to Amber to Green?" scotchbooks.com

More feedback on @goscotch "Just ordered the 3rd book as we already have the other 2 and my granddaughter loves them." You can buy yours at scotchbooks.com

Some feedback from happy customers who have bought Scotch the Scare-go books: "I have just purchased this book, for my Granddaughter whose 4. She has a lot of bad dreams, but now they have all gone away. She takes the cloth to bed with her and holds it in her hand."

Monday night was the AGM of the fantastic group that I am proud to be a member of @SloughWriters And guess what? I only went and won the Writer of the Year award! I'm honoured, humbled and very happy!

@DogsthorpeInf @edster_the @TheHeadsOffice I loved being interviewed by Dave - he's such a lovely chap and is passionately interested in chidren's literature. Thank you for you time Dave. Neil

What an amazing morning! Eddie @edster_the & his crew have been recording Season 4 of 'LaunchPads' for broadcast in the Autumn. Today we interviewed Julia Skinner in @TheHeadsOffice & children's author, Neil Dickinson with his delightful @GoScotch books. #DreamBelieveShine These wonderful people offer so much help to schools, teachers, parents and children. Not just in #Dogsthorpe, #Peterborough and #Cambridgeshire but across the UK. Meet them in September and hear all about what they are offering you... on Eddie's Dogsthorpe Infant School podcast for parents, teachers and schools.

This recommendation is everything to us! Consider giving the child in your life one of our books. You won’t believe the Scotch the Scare-go effect - especially when they see the surprise comforter at the end! 📚 😊 #booksforyoungchildren #picturebooks #anxietyinchildren

Scotch and Hop would like to wish you all a wonderful Christmas! It’s been quite a year for these two, and we’re so grateful to all of you who have bought a copy of Scotch the Scare-go or HopScotch. We can’t wait to work on more Scotch adventures in 2022! ⭐️ 🌾❤️

Our new book Hopscotch is already getting great feedback. If there’s a child in your life who’s nervous about school, consider buying them a copy. You won’t believe the Scotch the Scare-go effect - especially when they see the surprise comforter at the end! 📚 🏫 😊

Happy #readabookday everybody! Some pretty strict rules here for new readers 🤨 It’s fair to say that here at Scotch HQ, we’re a lot more relaxed about how our books are read 😊 (Via @PulpLibrarian)

We’re thrilled to announce that the second Scotch the Scare-go book is now available to order. In 'Hop Scotch', Scotch helps a young boy who is nervous about starting school - a situation that will be familiar to everyone. Order your copy here: scotchbooks.com

The 2nd Scotch the Scare-go book comes together. Dave Clark’s pulled out all the stops to create the most beautiful illustrations. Here’s Rob, hard at work finishing the artwork. The story is about a boy who’s nervous about starting school - very timely & we hope you like it! 🌾

“My book arrived today - speedy service! My 6 year old grandson has gone to bed tonight with the tartan on his bedside table in case he gets scared in the night, bless him.” Love this! ❤️ #childrensbook #scotchthescarego
