I review this great translated children's book over on my Instagram

It is such a unique and well-plotted mystery! #readingforpleasure Reading for Pleasure 🧶

#LetsTalkGraphicNovels - this month's pick... Always love a book blether with this group of graphic novel aficionados

I'm looking forward to grabbing a copy of this!

Next up, from the The Yoto Carnegies shortlist. Opens with a fantastic hook... A girl finds herself alone in the Outback, injured and with no idea who she is, let alone why she's there... Zillah #TheSongWalker #YotoCarnegies24 #ReadingForPleasure

Today, I ate in the cafe at the end of Southend Pier where Goldie Hawn once stood having a picture with Jamie Oliver and another man. I was unreasonably excited by this. #PrivateBenjamin #Overboard #Housesitter - favourite movies ever!

Keeping 🤞🏻 that my class pick this for next read aloud! Reading for Pleasure 🧶 #readingforpleasure

I have one more tale left in this collection of seven beautifully reimagined fairy tales. The writing gets the biggest chef's kiss from me. Have you read it? Which is your favourite? Pushkin Children's Books #AnnetSchaap @laura_wat

Definitely blocking time to watch the recording of this! Also just ordered the book 🙏🏼

These events never fail to inspire. Lots of ideas and practical suggestions for teachers and schools to use to boost Reading for Pleasure... When's the next one?! Reading for Pleasure 🧶

Fantastic bit of bookpost from Walker Books today…yes I am already reading the new Kate DiCamillo.

Really looking forward to diving into these.

Highways, corridors, bridges, ladders... Who knew there were so many different ways for animals to travel? 'Wildlife Crossings' is gold-standard #nonfiction ; impeccably researched + beautifully illustrated by #ChristianeEngel - thanks to Just Imagine for a great event 🙏🏼

Hashtag inspiration from Jon Biddle ! Here's a book that is 100% #OldButGold - winner of the Newbery Medal in 1998, this is historical fiction verse novel perfection! #KarenHesse #OutOfTheDust #NewberyMedal
Full review on my instagram

It really is an exceptional piece of writing

I'll be there... Looking forward to running a workshop with Imogen M16 all about social reading environments. It'll be so good to finally meet lots of my #readingforpleasure buddies in person after so long!

Quiz time!! Come and join us for a friendly night of quizzing and human rights.

Wednesday 8th May - 7:30pm

The White House, OX1 4PD

More and more, I’m actively choosing to NOT read the blurb before reading the book. Too often, so much is given away and those important moments / discoveries for the reader to savour are lost. How about a hashtag #skiptheblurb ?

I saw Jon Biddle & Kate Heap: Scope for Imagination post positive things about this translated novel and I wholeheartedly agree! A beautiful story to help us think about our past, present and future selves. Which other children's books in translation have you enjoyed? Reading for Pleasure 🧶

No big surprise here, but The Last Zookeeper by Aaron Becker is really special! Unbelievable illustrations that are so rich and deep. It demands more than one read as there is so much to take in. Just glorious and a must have for every school

Spent yesterday afternoon starting this, by one of my favourites Karen - shortlisted for DANZCBA - enjoying it already! #diversebooks #inclusivebooks #loveozmg #childrensbooks #teacherswhoread #MiddleGradeBooks
