Happy birthday books! 7 years of sharing my rhyming fun with young book lovers!
Thanks to my publisher @graffeg_books, illustrators Max Low & Hannah Rounding and all the young readers who’ve joined me on the ride!

Good morning, lovely @BBCRadio3 listeners. Apologies for interrupting your breakfast show this morning. Normal service will resume from 8am, now that your real news reader’s cab has arrived. Thanks for having me!

[Jason Korsner @jasonkbooks]

Delighted to see that @Queensparkpsch included #ILikeToPutFoodInMyWelly on its Reception key texts list for its spring curriculum - The Magic of Life indeed! I hope the children laughed as much when they read it as I did when I wrote it! #kidsbooks #Brighton

[Jason Korsner @jasonkbooks]

Thanks to @clitterhouse for having me back at another #FolkFest and thanks to the amazing, engaged young book lovers who came to hear #WhatCanYouSee #AZooInMyShoe & #ILikeToPutFoodInMyWelly - and came back for more, insisting I reread it by the welly! https://t.co/c6AxYEL87V

Somehow, my nonsense rhymes look far better as drawn by Max Low than they do in real life.

That said, I really do like eggs and flippers for breakfast.

Grab yourselves a copy of A Zoo In My Shoe to find out why!

Just back from a #summerholiday in #Greece, where my early years picture book #WhatCanYouSee - illustrated by #HannahRounding - came beautifully to life.

Look at the beach,
What can you see?
Sandcastles, deckchairs & waves in the sea.

Dinosaur fun, with #EwanMcGregor, #AnneHathaway and their kids being chased by hungry dinosaurs in #TheEndOfOakStreet. Perfectly entertaining but silly science and narrative nonsense mean it probably wasn’t worth missing likely the final UK-partial #solareclipse of my lifetime!

[Jason Korsner @jasonkfilm]

I’ve just got back from #peloponnese and found this at #Lidl. If you can sell it in #Greece, can you please sell it at @LidlGB too!

[Jason Korsner @jasonkbooks]

Just stumbled across this; thanks to @ReadingFairyLtd for highlighting my book, #ILikeToPutFoodInMyWelly as a book to share with young children, just as the Education Select Committee of MPs is promoting #ReadingForPleasure. @graffeg_books @helenhayes_#childrensbooks

[Jason Korsner @jasonkbooks]

The journey’s begun. 2 weeks into writing my 1st chapter book but real life’s getting in the way. When it’s a best seller, I’ll thumb my nose at everyone conspiring to sabotage the writing process. But for now, I need gentle nudges to keep me going!

Happy to be back, bringing you your @BBCRadio2 and @BBC6Music news!

What a delight to reshare this photo in celebration of the 💯 birthday of the comic genius of comic geniuses.
What a privilege it was to meet him.
Happy birthday to #MelBrooks, the man behind Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, High Anxiety, The Producers & many more #100years

[Jason Korsner @jasonkbooks]

A busy summer continues.
Thanks to Brookland Junior School for inviting me to share my books at their hot #summerfair.
It was lovely to meet teachers, parents, book-loving pupils and a local children’s publisher, Do Re Mi!

A little bit more about a hot day with some energetic 3 year olds, keeping me on my toes while their parents took a well-earned break at the East Finchley Festival. @EastFinchFest #Storytelling #ILikeToPutFoodInMyWelly #AZooInMyShoe #WhatCanYouSee #kidslit https://t.co/wODH5Wwxos

[Jason Korsner @jasonkbooks]

A delight to be back at the @EastFinchFest. A vibrant, community fair, with live music, craft stalls, food & drink stands, local businesses & charities. And the Storytelling Tent, where the 3 year olds were as anarchic as my books. What fun!

[Jason Korsner @jasonkbooks]

Nestled among the inflatables & axe-throwing, a little juggling helped people notice my book stall at the school #summerfair; older kids browsed the 2nd-hand books, while I introduced newcomers to my anarchic rhymes. #ILikeToPutFoodInMyWelly #AZooInMyShoe https://t.co/h2FoRGPDFC

[Jason Korsner @jasonkbooks]

It was great to be back at the #GardenSuburb School #summerfair. More inflatables meant I had to juggle even harder to attract people! We had a fun time reading #WhatCanYouSee? #ILikeToPutFoodInMyWelly #AZooInMyShoe & signing copies for newcomers to my anarchic, rhyming world.

[Jason Korsner @jasonkbooks]

It was great to be back in the woods, enjoying the fresh air & the cool canopy of the trees, sharing anarchic rhyming fun with the kids, while helping to boost conservation efforts at #CoppettsWood, a valuable, green lung, hidden behind the North Circular. https://t.co/MRogLC508Z

[Jason Korsner @jasonkbooks]

I’ve just saw that @Royal_Greenwich recommended my book, #ILikeToPutFoodInMyWelly, as part of their Great Language Catch-Up, alongside works from such eminent children’s authors as #JuliaDonaldson, @MichaelRosenYes, #NicolaDavies & #DrSeuss.
During Covid!
What an honour! Thanks!
