Book Review: War Dog by Tom Palmer

 

It feels strange to be writing this after such a long gap, but here we are. I’ve been a little quiet on the blog since August 2025, simply because life has been busy in the way it so often is. Between teaching, everyday commitments and everything else that fills the weeks, writing took a bit of a back seat. That said, I’m finally catching up on some posts I’ve been meaning to share, and I wanted to start by saying that I’m still very much here and still just as passionate about sharing great children’s books - starting with this one.

Book Review: Shevolution by Lou Treleaven

I am very proud - and very privileged - to be bringing you this blog post today as part of the Shevolution blog tour!

It has been a while (almost eight months, in fact) since I last shared a blog post or book review here. As a Year 6 teacher, I don't have as much free time to read and blog as I would like. I wrote and scheduled a few back in September, when the new school year started, but I have struggled to sit down and write things like this. I am trying to be better but I also need to be kind to myself. 

Anyway, today I am here to talk about this incredible new non-fiction book - Shevolution - and, as part of the blog tour, I am going to focus on one incredible woman from this book who deserves to be part of women's history.

Book Review: The Silent Stars Go By by Sally Nichols

I am so excited to be bringing you this book review today! Today, I'm going to be talking about The Silent Stars Go By by Sally Nicholls.

This book was very kindly sent to me by Andersen Press - along with a few other little treats - in exchange for a review, but I would like to stress that the fact that I was gifted this book does not sway my review in any way. All opinions are my own.

Now, on with the review...
