Thank you for letting me review Mr Norton's New Hat and Hank Goes Honk recently! I really enjoyed both.

I Did See A Mammoth is such a fun book! I love keeping on top of books (and spying some to add to my wish list) through the reviews. Thank you!

Oxfordshire-based school staff!
Chris is running a Teachers Reading Group again this year (without me as I am on maternity leave!). It's a wonderful group and Chris is so knowledgeable. Details below - please share!

From Kenneth Oppel, Best of All Worlds is a story of survival, teenage passions and an invisible enemy. What should be a relaxing weekend away from the city turns nightmarish when Xavier and his family wake up to find themselves trapped inside a dome. UKLA members RP for a chance to win #lucky13th

This will be amazing! Gina Kaminski is my hero!

Yes, please let us know! It sounds wonderful.

We loved reading the children's varied responses!

Hi Mat,
We have loved shadowing the Klaus Flugge prize this year! I have emailed you our photos from across the six classes but our winners were: Slug Life (2 classes), The Cafe at the Edge of the Woods (2 classes), The Cat Who Couldn't Be Bothered and The Christmas Mouse.

Same child, different comments.

Yes of course. The children have enjoyed learning new words such as the gutter, vignettes, endpapers etc - right from Year 4 upwards - and it has helped their analytical skills. This example doesn't particularly show that but it's been lovely to witness.

The children are getting more confident with forming their own opinions of, and commenting on, the illustrations too. 🎨

We've been really enjoying it! Thank you.

I read it to my Year 6 class in May (as I always do) and they fell in love it with it and Edward (as they always do)! It's a magical read.

NEW in the critically acclaimed and internationally bestselling ‘Unknown Adventurer’ series! 3 signed copies of THE LOST BOOK OF UNDERSEA ADVENTURE! By Teddy Keen are the UKLA Lucky 13th prizes for June. UKLA Members just RP to be in with a chance to win.

Yes, absolutely. Thank you.

It was really interesting - thank you!

It was lovely, Kelly! I loved this bookmark menu too. 😊

Tonight I am off to an amazing local restaurant who have started a book club where they cook a three course meal from a recipe book and then you can buy the book from the local bookshop. Food and books! The dream! 🤩

Finished The Wrong Shoes ahead of our Staff Book Club next week. Gritty, emotive and relatable for young people today, I can understand why it has been nominated for so many awards. I will read it to my Year 6 class next term. Thank you to Tom Percival for this important read!

Thank you @uklitassociation.bsky.social for my copy of Michael Rosen's Pocket Shakespeare! Perfect for my Year 6s. This year we have already studied Macbeth, Henry V and Romeo and Juliet! 🎭
@michaelrosenyes.bsky.social - I'm looking forward to reading an extract tomorrow to my class!

Sounds great but unfortunately the link doesn't seem to work for me. I would like some colleagues to attend if possible 🙂

Look what's happening on the 29th of April. And you are all invited. Register here: vimeo.com/event/492988...

Wow!!

I finished it yesterday as well and whole-heartedly agree!

Explore Shakespeare’s best bits: love & heartbreak, magic & superstition, jealousy, beauty, insults & one-liners in this celebration of the Bard. With @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social as your guide, and illustrations from Chris Riddell. UKLA members RP to win 5 books + signed prints from Walker Books

Thank you Anthony McGowan and @uklitassociation.bsky.social for my treat! This was waiting for me when I got back last night after a few days away. I can't wait to read it!

The Easter holidays are here, so I have a copy of Primary Reading Simplified to give away.

Just **repost** this post to have a chance to win.

The winner will be selected 19th April.

Wallingford! There were two or three other copies there yesterday too. 🤞🏼

Walking into my local bookshop and, to my complete surprise, seeing an advanced copy of The First Year was a very good start to my Easter holidays! What's everyone else reading at the moment?
