He said: “I read the original story of Aladdin and the children didn’t just listen, I encouraged them to join in with actions, getting them to pull faces and do some miming to the story.
“They were great little actors.
“I think it’s really important to make the children feel fully involved, and watching their little faces light up made it a great success.”

A young bookworm fills me with dread, I do believe our very own one on the EN site has moved on or dropped dead.
