Wolverhampton primary pupils get a surprise visit from CBeebies megastar

Andy is known to millions of children as presenter of 'Andy's Dinosaur Adventures' and star of 'Andy and the Band' but he's recently swapped the microphone for a pen and has released his first ever children's book titled Dino Dad.

Andy treated local pupils to a sneak peek at the new book, hosted a dinosaur themed quiz and performed a song for them during the 20 minute assembly, which was arranged by Puffin Books.

Andy told us "It was so much fun surprising youngsters in their school assemblies, the kids had so much energy and there are some real dino experts amongst pupils in Wolverhampton"

The 7 lucky schools were:

Eastfield Primary, Woodfield Primary, St Bart’s Primary, Castlecroft Primary, Hill Avenue Academy, West Park Primary & Whitgreave Primary.

About the book:

From the dino-mad mind of Andy Day, one of the most recognisable and beloved stars of children’s TV, comes a roar-some new magical adventure series. Dino Dad is a magical whirlwind adventure featuring fun real-life dino facts to fascinate and feed the curiosity of young readers. The imaginative world of Dino Dad is brought to life with the brilliantly funny illustrations from award-winning illustrator Steven Lenton.
