What a paws-itive entertaining whodunnit The Big Bad Wolf Murder is - an underrated gem! A twist on the fairytale we know, mixed with Zootropolis, adrenaline-fuelled chases of Alex Rider & Agatha Christie, it’s addictive🐺 @pgbellwriter.bsky.social

Where can a story take you? At my school, we want to show our pupils how far they can travel and learn about that country whilst staying in the same place. Our map is a work in progress but here’s what we’ve started with 🤩🌍📚 #kidlituk

Rob & Tom Sears created one of the best/ quirkiest NF ever in The Biggest Footprint and their new book A Tree is a Time Machine is equally exceptional. A tree contemplates the passing of time and it made me smile and go Wow! Genius. @smithsmm.bsky.social @checkemoutbooks.bsky.social
