Love this cover. Talking Turkeys was a staple of my childhood. Enjoy!

Lovely Frank, say hello to Derry for me please!

This just popped up on my timeline. Very excited to read it in August, Lissa. And what a glorious front cover!

You could start here. And there is great grandeur in this episode. But you could also start anywhere. @backlisted.bsky.social is a real national treasure, I don't say that lightly. If you need inspiration to read, you'll always find it here. Bravo Andy, and all the team. Heroic, heroic stuff.

@frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social Here's a new slogan for your Children's Laureate endeavours, 'Life's dangerous when you're delicious!'

Lovely stuff!

He's the 'My Mother Saw a Dancing Bear' guy, right? Love that poem. Will add this book to my list!

Great title, Coral!

One for you @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social!

Coral's not just 'The Jellyfish Poet' but 'The Seaweed' one too. Love this!

A poem about reading poetry slowly, like a sloth or tortoise. But not too slowly, or you’ll fall asleeee zzzz

Our pleasure Attie!

Blue Jelly and Strawberries has become a staple of our bedtime reading. My 5 and 7 year old daughters keep coming back to it, and quite right too as it's brilliant. Get over to Attie's IG if you can and give yourself a chance of a treat!

Being read to is always a joy and the GWL is ace. If you can, why not give yourself a treat tomorrow?

Waaaaah! This'll be brilliant as always!

An Evening with Andrea Gibb Join us to celebrate the release of Miss Austen, a landmark BBC drama about the life of Jane Austen, with screenwriter Andrea Gibb.

I'm a wee bit embarrassed posting this, given the bleakness of the news but....Dr Andrew Meehan from Strathclyde Uni is hosting this conversation on Miss Austen tomorrow evening. Please come along if you're around and free. You can just walk in, no need to register. Let me know if you're on for it

Wild that it's not a legal requirement to have a library in schools. A good library is the very best of us. #libraries #librarians #literacy #booksky

Roll on June 12th!
