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 […]
Lovely Lucky Wish Mouse
‘Lucky Wish Mouse: Sweet Dreams‘, by Clara Vulliamy (published by Orchard Books) I’ve been meaning to post about this utterly gorgeous book for ages, but I am glad that I’ve only just got around to finishing off the review as it means I can post it today, in celebration of the birthday of […]

‘Keeping’ books
This might well be my shortest post ever (famous last words, I know) but I just *had* to share this endearing habit that both C and H possess and which makes me smile every single day! M and I read to the boys every evening (and I often read to them during the day as […]
TV tie-in books
I love this picture. C is ‘reading’ to H (reciting the story from memory, yes, but he recognises a few words, matches the right sections of the story to each picture and does different voices for each character. To me, that’s absolutely a sort of reading, even though I feel the need to present the […]
