A very brief post, but much more than that is beyond me at the moment, unfortunately (as is evident from the fact that this post is nearly a month late!). Our Pinterest board for the books we read in October can be found here, along with our updated board for the #300PBs challenge. Our favourite […]

Here’s our reading list from September and our update for the #300PBs challenge, as well as our favourite reads for the month. In Story Seekers reading news this month, C is continuing to do very well at school with his reading scheme books and is now enjoying reading picture books from home to H and R […]

Things have changed a little bit in the Story Seekers house over the last few months, and I’m not just talking about the fact that our collection of intricately detailed Lego firefighting, turbo blasting, booster-pack-enabled spaceship creations seems to expand on a daily basis.  Nope, a couple of months ago we gained an even MORE […]

In the interest of spending more time on other posts (I’m slowly starting to make good on my resolution to get back into blogging as this will be my third post this week!), I’m making this brief 🙂 So, here’s our reading list from August and our update for the #300PBs challenge, as well as […]

‘The Five of Us‘ by Quentin Blake (published by Tate Publishing). We are big fans of Tate Publishing and the stylish, and often unusual, books on their list.  I was therefore very excited to be contacted about reviewing a new book that they were publishing by the legend that is Sir Quentin Blake, especially when I […]

I spent many a happy hour when I was younger writing stories, making books and generally dreaming about how being an author would be one of the best jobs in the world.  (I also dreamed of being an airline pilot, but quickly realised that that would probably involve less reading of books, less buying of […]

Hello!  This is the first reading list post since lovely little R arrived and as was probably inevitable, it’s a little late… HOWEVER, R has been busy elsewhere and has already managed (with a teeny bit of help) to guest post on the ‘Routes to Reading’ section of the Education Umbrella website, proudly showing off his […]

I can’t actually believe that ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ – the classic rhyming tale of a family’s adventure to find a bear – is 25 years old.  Although it’s still not quite old enough to have been a book from my own childhood *cough cough* 😉 it still feels as though it’s been a […]

A day early again, but we’re gearing up for a rather busy month as the newest member of Team Kirby is due to arrive very soon.  I can’t imagine that the early days are going to provide much opportunity to get back into blogging, but at least it will mean there’s a new person choosing […]

So here’s May’s reading list, hot on the heels of our April one…  A couple of day’s premature, but we have a busy weekend planned and at least this way I won’t let it go a month overdue *looks down at April’s post, shuffles feet and coughs…* We’re now starting to share a few longer […]
