Kitty Pidduck presents...

Children’s writer and songwriter, Kitty Pidduck, presents songs from her animated preschool series, Daisy Digs It, at The Oval Montessori Nursery!

  • singing with Mama Owl and her owlets in Owl Babies

  • dancing a hoedown to Dig Your Spade In

…and much, much more!

About Kitty Pidduck

Kitty Pidduck’s background as a singer, songwriter and early years music specialist has stood her in good stead in her role as a screenwriter specialising in original children’s content.

Francesca Dow, Penguin Random House Children’s, called her writing ‘lovely and warm, very easy to read but with a strong voice’.

Kitty’s first foray into screenwriting has resulted in two animation series – one for three- to six-year-olds and one for four- to seven-year-olds – both in development with King Bee Animation.
