I’ve just bought Sinbin Island by Doug Naylor. I LOVE Red Dwarf and I love children’s fiction so this is going to be a real treat. And I’ve heard so many good things about it. David Fickling Books

Thanks David Fickling Books for the latest instalment of Bunny Vs Monkey. My class love this series, as do I, and they were only this week asking for more. They’re going to be so pleased on Monday.

This is why series of books for young readers need grassroots support 💛
