A small girl wearing a rabbit costume and blue coat carries a book as she walks to school.
Her mother (head out of shot) wheels her baby brother along in a pushchair.
The baby says "Peter Rabbit may be the 'Hero' of the story, but surely the obedient, widowed Mrs Rabbit is a more effective symbol of the oppression inherent within Mister McGregor's regime"
The girls looks furious and snaps "Mum!! He's critiquing my world book day costume from a marxist perspective again!"
A cartoon reminder that tomorrow is World Book Day (In the UK anyway). Originally for the @theguardian.com

Thanks Jacqui. It’s good to see a very accessible work of #YAfiction covering such an important topic.

I think many will agree with you! This book just captures school dynamics so well & I think the humour will be very much enjoyed by children & any school staff who pick it up 😊

The book, the cover of which shows a white girl and Black boy in front of a large crocodile-like creature around which 2 smaller magical lizards are flying.

You’ve covered a great selection there Tom. My favourites are the MMU series by @redbreastedbird.bsky.social not just because they are fabulous stories but also because I have such happy memories of sharing them with my youngest, & hearing her sharing them with friends 😊

Yes!! This is a GREAT way to support authors-if your library doesn’t have the book, request it! Only my second year ever of PLR & it’s AMAZING to know that my books have been borrowed over 1000 times!!🥰🙏🏽 #kidlituk #ukkidlit 🐘🦜
