Q POOTLE 5 AND CREATOR NICK BUTTERWORTH PARTNER WITH WORLD SPACE WEEK UK FOR WORLD SPACE WEEK 2016
Loveable alien Q Pootle 5 and his creator, award-winning children’s author and illustrator – Nick Butterworth, have partnered with World Space Week UK in order to encourage young children to have a greater interest in space.
As part of the campaign, World Space Week UK will launch a national schools competition. The winning school will get the chance to meet Q Pootle 5 and hear from Nick Butterworth as he discusses the adventures of the friendly little alien and his pals.
Characters from the hit TV series will also feature on a themed webpage which will host a range of content including a downloadable activity page. Visitors to the site will also be able to watch some of Nick’s favourite episodes.
“Q Pootle 5 grew out of my life-long interest in everything to do with space”, said children’s author and illustrator, Nick Butterworth. “World Space Week celebrates the importance and excitement of space and space exploration which makes them the perfect partner and we are delighted to be teaming up with them in 2016.”
Victoria Southgate, National Co-ordination Manager, World Space Week UK adds, “Q Pootle 5 is a much loved brand with creativity, fun and adventure at its core. By partnering with them for Word Space Week 2016 we hope to engage with the next generation and encourage them to have a greater interest in space.”
