A thought for the new term. READING FOR PLEASURE is the most important thing in education: more important than any test scores, or any of the hoops we make our kids jump through. So whatever else you do, please never stop helping kids find books to read & love. It will change their lives! #literacy

It’s publication day for Time Tub Travellers: Circus Mystery. If you enjoy time travel, adventure, the thrilling world of the Victorian circus and you don’t know who Pablo Fanque is…you need this book. Suitable for 8+ year olds and wise adults who know the joy of reading kids books. #kidlituk
