Loft treasure no.8 – ABC, 123, and some vintage rhymes

I haven’t posted about my loft treasures for ages and what better time to reintroduce them than for my one hundredth post?!  When I first started this blog nearly a year ago I didn’t think I’d get past one post, let alone up to a hundred, and it took me quite a few months to […]

Inspiration for Story Seekers – Bookhappy

Following on from the fab  Zoe from ‘Playing by the book’, I’m really excited to be able to share my interview with Cate and Hannah from ‘Bookhappy‘. Funnily enough, it was Zoe who first pointed me in the direction of Bookhappy and I’m over the moon that she did.  Cate and Hannah are already building […]

What do you look for in a book blog post?

I’ve been having a bit of think recently about blogging and as per usual, given that I am a Bear Of Very Little Brain, I haven’t got very far and am now looking for YOUR help. I absolutely love writing this blog.  Don’t get me wrong, it’s totally great to think that others might also […]

Inspiration for Story Seekers – Zoe Toft from ‘Playing by the book’

As I think more and more about making Story Seekers a reality, I’m finding it very useful to look at those who are already doing similar things and from whom I can learn so much.  Thus, I’m so pleased to have the second interview in my ‘inspiration’ series here on the blog today. I first […]

Who am I and why am I here? (M’s first post!)

I’m C and H’s dad and an avid Story Seekers follower on this blog and on Twitter – out of choice I should add, rather than duress! As is abundantly clear from her previous blog posts, Loll is incredibly passionate about children’s books. Am I as passionate? Well, no, as that’s virtually impossible, but I […]

Another Story Seekers update

Today, a new email came through from Picture Book Den – a great blog to which I subscribe.  The posts are written by a group of children’s authors based in the UK and Ireland and they’re always fun to read, as well as (for me) being really useful and informative. Today’s feature was written by […]

Oxfam storytelling session – 2-4 year olds

This past Sunday I held another storytelling session at out local Oxfam Books and Music shop, this time for two to four year olds.  The amazing books above are the ones we shared and all of them were very well received by the children who came along. We started off by looking through a range […]

‘Read it, Daddy!’ interviews Story Seekers

This week over at the ‘Read it, Daddy!‘ blog the theme is ‘Brilliant Book Bloggers’ and today he’s featuring an interview with me 🙂 It was really great to be included, especially as part of such an esteemed group – the other bloggers featured are: – Leyla from ‘This Day I Love‘ – Mélanie from ‘Library […]

A new member of Story Seekers

OK, so my husband, M, doesn’t exactly count as a brand new member as he’s been on board with the Story Seekers idea from the start, but recently I’ve been thinking more about his involvement in how and what we read with C and H.  This is partly inspired by ‘Read It, Daddy!’ and his […]

Inspiration for Story Seekers – Rosa Flores Dee

As you’ll have gathered from my recent post about the ‘new look’ Story Seekers, I’ve been thinking a lot about the development of my ideas and how best to translate my somewhat jumbled-up vision into something more tangible and clearly defined.  I’ve been spending time trying to work out not only what Story Seekers should […]
