Good News
Candy Gourlay and Carles Ballesteros have had their book Mike Falls up flagged by Book Trust as one of their books of the day! Published by Little Tiger, his quirky, imaginative tale is full of unexpected twists and turns, and is sure to engage young children. It demonstrates the importance of not pre-judging others and always extending the hand of friendship.

No comments:
We love comments and really appreciate the time it takes to leave one.
Interesting and pithy reactions to a post are brilliant but we also LOVE it when people just say they've read and enjoyed.
We've made it easy to comment by losing the 'are you human?' test, which means we get a lot of spam. Fortunately, Blogger recognises these, so most, if not all, anonymous comments are deleted without reading.
