Paul Contributes To New Children’s Book


Paul Contributes To New Children’s Book
Paul has joined forces with Children in Need and some of the most famous names in music, 
sport and show business to contribute to the recently published book 'The Curious Tale 
of Fi-Rex’.

The story of the half-girl, half-dinosaur called Fi-Rex has been written using the game of 

‘Consequences’; each author was only given information about the main character and the 
final line from the previous page.

As anyone who has played the ‘Consequence’ game can imagine, the story takes some wild 

and hilarious turns thanks to contributors including Paul, One Direction, Kylie Minogue, Kate 
Moss, Andy Murray, Jamie and Jools Oliver, Amanda Holden, Take That, Ronan Keating, 
Tom Daly and Denise Van Outen.

The Curious Tale of Fi-Rex’ has been published to raise money for this year’s BBC Children 

in Need Appeal and nine original pages from the book are currently up for auction.

FEST THANKS TO SOME TOP CELEBRITY BACKING

Children in Need's Fi-Rex
Joined-up effort: Children in Need’s Fi-Rex was penned by stars including Denise Van 

Outen, Kylie and Paul McCartney
It is a children’s book written by the stars and set to make ­thousands for charity.
For the first time, some of the most famous names in music, sport and showbiz have got 

together to write a one-of-a-kind story for BBC’s Children in Need.
The Curious Tale of Fi-Rex, the adorable story of a little girl who is half-human half-­dinosaur, 
has been penned by 25 celebrities including One Direction, Sir Paul McCartney, Denise van
 Outen, Coleen and Wayne Rooney, Rod Stewart, Penny Lancaster and Kylie Minogue.
Speaking about her ­involvement, Denise said: “I was filming EastEnders at the time and 
would write some of the page in between scenes on the set of Albert Square.
Children in Need's Fi-Rex
Art for charity: Children in Need’s Fi-Rex is set to make thousands for the charity 
“It was quite funny coming up with this cute little half-girl half-dinosaur tale whilst Phil Mitchell 
was rehearsing in the background.”
On Sir Paul’s page he resurrects the famous Frog Chorus characters from his 1983 hit We All 
Stand Together, while the 1D boys appear as a frog band – called Pond Direction.
Kids’ writing: Denise van Outen says she was working with EastEnders when she wrote her 
pages
Each celeb was asked to write one page but they were only allowed to see the last line of the 
previous page.
Denise explains: “I was told who the main character was and I was shown the last sentence 
of Wayne and Coleen Rooney’s part of the story, and I had to carry it on in my style.”
On her page, Fi-Rex rips open an ­envelope and is presented with a piece of golden paper 
with a riddle written on it. Denise added: “The idea of reading my daughter Betsy a story at 
night that I wrote part of is very special. I was excited to be involved.
“I am having my part of the story which has been illustrated so beautifully framed and put up 
in Betsy’s room.”
Other stars involved in the project include Jamie Oliver and Tom Daley.
Bringing the wacky yarn to life is renowned artist Julia Patton.
