@malorieblackman My Y5s and I just read Cloud Busting. We all loved it. We noticed that in my older edition of the book, Davey had a nut allergy, but in the recent re-print it has been changed to a dairy allergy. The kids and I were interested to know why...? Thanks!

Congratulations to everyone on this longlist! Exciting times!

@LouiseK_books @SmallSchool_KS2 Thanks! Yes it was a great success. We did it with the fabulous @mybookbug

@LouiseK_books @SmallSchool_KS2 @SmallSchool_KS2 I would recommend talking to Louise. I held an Usborne book fair in my school last term and generated over £2000 worth of free books.

This guy is incredible

[Tom Knowles @tkbeynon]

There’s this guy on TikTok who does nursery rhymes in the style of his favourite bands and the production standards are insane. This Mumford and Sons style rendition of You Are My Sunshine is genuinely as good as a song they would release

In the spirit of adventure* my favourite #torrentshell coat had to be cut off me by paramedics at the weekend ✂️😱

Do you reckon it’s repairable @patagonia ?! (the coat not the fractured vertebrae) 😆

*full disclosure, the adventure involved going down a slide with my 5yo 😬

A glance at the list of most frequently banned books makes clear that “mature content” is a fig leaf: what parents and advocacy groups are challenging in these books is difference itself. https://t.co/waMcg2o8iu

#Evri please deliver my World Book Day costume before Thursday. You picked up the package from the seller 10 days ago. I fear I'm gonna have a lot of disappointed kids on my hands this WBD when I have to fall back on Captain Haddock. Again. 😢
