Book Review: The Secret Ocean by Amy Grimes

I love a bright, colourful picture book, so when this landed through my letterbox - courtesy of Scholastic - I was incredibly excited. I knew from the moment that I opened it and saw the cover, this book was going to be a popular one with children of all ages - even my Year 6 class.

Ever since I took this book into my classroom, it has not been back on the shelf. It has just been passed from child to child. Every time someone goes to put it back, another pupil goes "Ooh, can I have that one now?" It's such a joy to see. 

Book Review: A Little Bit of Positivity: Potatoes, Peppers and Pineapples to Make Your Day

I am so excited to be bringing you this book review today. From the moment I saw this book, I knew I needed to get my hands on it. Luckily, it was kindly sent to me by Scholastic to review (for which I am incredibly grateful).

Book Review: My Body, My Rules by Nicki Esler Gill & Dasha Riley

I love an empowering, informative message portrayed through picture books for young children. It doesn't need to be heavy or too deep but it's great to see good values and behaviours demonstrated through the joy of reading.

Today, I am reviewing My Body, My Rules - a picture book that aims to introduce younger readers to body boundaries and consent in a lighter manner.

Book Review: Nina Peanut is Amazing by Sarah Bowie

I am so excited to be talking about this book on my blog today!

I was kindly gifted this book at the start of the month ahead of its release yesterday. First of all: WHAT A COVER! Secondly, I read this entire graphic novel in one sitting and it is brilliant.

Let me tell you more...

Book Review: Jack Splash by Tom Daley with Simon James Green

Sometimes friendship means diving into trouble!

Well, this was a treat through my letterbox last week! I've already told myself that I won't put in lots of diving or water-related puns, but there are so many that made me laugh in my head as I started planning this review. However, I'm pretty certain it'll only be me laughing!

Anyway... let's dive in! OK, just one!

 

Blog Tour: Chocolate Milk, X-Ray Specs and Me by Bethany Walker | Illustrator Q&A & Review

I'm very excited to be bringing you this post today as part of the blog tour for Chocolate Milk, X-Ray Specs and Me. As well as giving my my thoughts in a short review, I also have an exciting Q&A with the illustrator of the book.

Book Review: Stick Boy by Paul Coomey

I'm back with another book review for you and today I'm talking about Stick Boy by Paul Coomey.

Now, this isn't my usual choice of book but when I was offered the chance to read it early and review it, I decided to give it a go. It looked fun and like a good book that I could share with the children at school if they wanted to read something a little different for a change.

Although I was sent this book by Little Tiger, I want to say that the following thoughts and opinions are all my own and I am in no way influenced by the fact that I was sent a copy of this book.

Now, onto the review...
