I highly recommend this. A lovely story with a ear worm of a rhyme that children will love and the illustrations are fabulous.

Delighted that Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 is writing again. He describes the process as "a very friendly blanket", but for me at the moment it's more like one of those bulky fluffy duvets that you can get lost in. I do agree with him though that writing "feels like a good place to be".

The natural world features much in my writing. Some years ago I began writing a blog, but then lost confidence. Revived interest in the natural world has made me rethink so I've relaunched the blog today. Thanks to those who say they like it: oldbirder.wordpress.com/2020/08/28/mea…

My thoughts on a visit to a local nature reserve Jen Jones

My current MG WiP has woods & trees at its heart. So, it was fab to listen to 'Open Book' on BBC Radio 4 today with a focus on nature writing & much talk of trees. @M_Z_Harrison & Richard Powers (author of 'The Overstory') inspired: bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b… Stephen Moss

So lovely to hear that @1eswoodlands enjoyed watching me read 'Rock on Barney'. This is just one of the reasons why I love writing, especially about the natural world Jude Lennon Books @TeamAuthorUK Stephen Moss Iolo Williams

I love inviting little ones to learn about the natural world through my books. Fabulous that these children enjoyed my slot as a 'mystery reader'. Jen Jones
