Fantastic book post from Usborne Publishing
I’ve really been looking forward to this one from P.G. Bell 😁
I’m growing the beans, eating the sweets and reading the book.
You can tell from page 1 you’re in good hands. Just know I’m going to love Anwen. Thank you!

'This is the book of 2024. It is perfect.' I mean, as reviews go, I don't think I could ask for more.

Every onw and then a cartoon is perfect.

Congrats Pari Thomson !!

Just showed my Mum these pics of Bob vs the Selfie Zombies on Blue Peter.
She thinks I’m famous now.

11-year-old me would have had his tiny mind blown by this!

Only Olaf Falafel could have come up with this wonderful nonsense.

Woo so happy Bob has made the amazing Blue Peter Book Club and in such good company!! Andy Jones & Robin Boyden ⏰🤳🧟‍♀️ The Reading Agency
This was one of the 1st books I worked on when I started Bonnier Books UK and it's great to see the series reaching more and more readers!

In light of *that* announcement today, I’d like to remind folks of some middle grade books which have authentic disability & chronic illness representation from authors with lived experience.

And where disabilities are NOT used to portray villains.

Feel free to add more!

Rather than trying to milk yet more revenue from Dahl's corpse, check out these stories by a host of talented children's writers.

Ordering these in the wrong size could have huge reaper cushions.

Absolutely delighted that Bob vs the Selfie Zombies had been selected for the Blue Peter book club.
I mean, Blue Peter!
Feel like I’ve travel my back in time.

For your daily does of pure joy

Apparently today is #InternationalChildrensBookDay ! So we're going to repeat our plea to journos and media to PLEASE include children's books in your 'best of' write ups ❤️

Going to be epic. Very envious of this brilliant idea from P.G. Bell

Me: 😮 Fist yourself?
Daughter: Assist.
Me: 😵 Context?

Me: 🙄
