Today's #60SecReview is all about the J word- journeys! More specifically, animal journeys and migration. We Travel So Far by @LauraMakesBooks and illustrated by @thatmadden is a beautiful and informative book, published by @Frances_Lincoln #BookReview #NonFictionBooks

@knowles_linda One of the most disappointing and unmagical aspects of my childhood was the lack of a Real Fire. In hindsight, I suppose being fed, clothed and having central heating was pretty good though. 😉

It's only 4 more sleeps 'til Halloween! It's not on my usual topic of the natural world, but Halloween was clearly a popular subject for 6(ish)-year-old me. Just goes to show you don't have to start out with good spelling and handwriting to make a career in publishing! 🤣

‘WHAT THE ELEPHANT HEARD is a rare thing, a non-fiction picture book written in verse. The result is a delightful & informative story by @cguillain with stunning illustrations by one of my favourite picture book artists Sam Usher. @KidsWelbeck’. DW
