A world record attempt to celebrate 25 years of ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ by Michael Rosen!
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 […]
Our reading list – May 2014
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 […]
Our reading list – April 2014
Another brief, and ridiculously late, round-up. So much so, in fact, that I’m about to post about our May reading list at the same time *hangs head in shame* 😦 I really do hope that I’ll get my blogging boots back on soon as sharing my thoughts about books and reading with everyone makes me […]
The future of sharing books with children – no.2 – libraries
So, leading on (quite some time later, I know!) from my previous post about the future of booksellers, the next thing M and I discussed was the future of libraries. Despite being aware of all the cuts that are being made to the funding for libraries, it seems to me (and I’m guessing many others […]
The future of sharing books with children – no.1 – booksellers
Let me start this off by saying that I feel incredibly guilty for not using what precious little blogging time I have over the summer hols to write a review of one of the MANY books that have been neatly stacked in my blogging box next to the sofa for what seems like forever. The […]
This Review Belongs To Emily Brown
I may have mentioned before that I’m in a book club for grown-ups (and every time I write that it reminds that I still need to get my act together when it comes to creating a local children’s book group with the Federation of Children’s Book Groups, but that’s another post altogether) where in addition […]
World Book Day – storytelling session at C’s pre-school
So, today I’ve had pretty much the most brilliantly bookish morning I could ever have hoped for (not even marred by the fact that my car failed its MOT quite comprehensively, grrrrrrrr). It was an utterly wonderful way to celebrate World Book Day 2013. A month or so ago, I was asked if I would […]
International Book Giving Day 2013
Today is International Book Giving Day 2013! How exciting to think about igniting a love of reading for someone by passing on a book 🙂 Much more thrilling than paying over the odds for flowers and chocolates that will be forgotten before the week is out (my husband feels the same way, luckily 😉 […]
Grown up book club (with children’s books!)
I just wanted to write a quick post to say how much I am enjoying the book club of which I’m a member. We got set up in the autumn of last year and we meet every couple of months. As I’d suggested the idea of a book club, I was the first to host. […]
