This is how you create readers. Mum was waiting for a friend and sat reading. Doesn't matter what the book is, children are still hearing language, connecting words. It's not a child's book but the baby was engaged.

The #HareShapedHole broke me so I was expecting the same with #ItWontBeForever but it's a gentle story that's perfect for reassuring children who are anxious about leaving their parents. @QuartoKids #picturebook

@Avabelly__ I'd leave them in ... they're rather cute!

[Barbara Band @bcb567]

These books by @QuartoKids are a mix of rhyming stories and facts. Aimed at #ks1 they introduce children to #dinosaurs and #minibeasts

Useful book for the #stafflibrary - relevant #CPD for anyone responsible for managing behaviour #teachers #schoollibrarians #supportstaff #supervisors Loved the behaviour style quiz that directs you to specific chapters. Accessible, case studies focus questions. @BloomsburyEd

@uaivito Saw them at school, at work, at events. Called at their houses. And rang them on a landlines!

Packed with charts, diagrams, maps & detailed illustrations, this fascinating book explores the way plants & animals have adapted to survive. Readers can also explore themes via coloured arrows that link pages. #NaturalWorld 8-12 yrs @QuartoKids

A child reading a book about football tactics is reading.
A child reading a recipe book is reading.
A child reading the back of a cereal box is reading.
We have an extraordinary habit of deciding which reading counts as real reading.
And an equally extraordinary habit of doing it in front of the child.
Every book counts. Every page counts.
Stop gatekeeping.

@SarahWoods66 I find most events are like this now. Not at all pleasant and often a waste of money cos you can't see or get near anything. I've stopped going.

@GaryPetersonUSA I'd ask for a refund. Stars are on the wrong side of the flag, the other looks like it says 'manga' and that's an inaccurate image.

This series from @BloomsburyEd would be great for #primary #reading. Diverse, inclusive & totally relatable to children. #BloomsburyYoungReaders are a must have addition to your #readingscheme.

@Kristinartz Did that before steam irons ... my mum used a water spray bottle.

Silly and engaging, #FootballKicks is full of one-page comic strip visual jokes based around football. Aimed at 7-9 years, it's bound to have readers giggling. #schoollibrary #primary @QuartoKids

@downbadcomment So he's the sort of father who steals food from his own child just so he can play a joke with it and look 'funny' in front of his friends?

[Barbara Band @bcb567]

Great #science #picturebook that covers many aspects of water - salt & freshwater life, weather, energy, how it shapes the earth. Engaging & informative. Supports curriculum & good #schoollibrary addition. 5-7 yrs KS1 #WonderWorldWater by @NosyCrowBooks @nationaltrust

[Barbara Band @bcb567]

Large, sturdy #picturebook with lift-up-flaps to explore. Every double page has 2 short rhymes & a theme - garden, farm, seaside, forest, etc. Muted colours give a retro feel & there's lots to talk about. #LookBabyLook @NosyCrowBooks

@triiadxx She's not late - people behind her are still putting their bags away and getting sorted. She's also entitled to sit in her booked seat.
