For my money, @joelarcanjo.bsky.social has created one of the best series of the last few years with the Crook Haven books. Can't wait to spend a bit of time with Gabriel and the crew again.👍

The girls are trampolining so I'm catching up on some reading, starting with this from @larryhayesauthor.bsky.social.
WOW! This one doesn't let up at all. The scares come early and thick and fast from then on in. Absolutely loving it! Great choice by A New Chapter.

Since half term I've been channeling my inner Tim Brighouse and walking around the dinner hall stealing chips off the kids' plates. They love it, and so do I.
Thank you @smithsmm.bsky.social for sharing the '20 Things' list all that time ago.👍

Got the call on Monday! It's been quite the week!
I will say this - absolutely inspection as it should be.
We were told it would be 'inspection done with you, not to you' and it absolutely was.
They listened, it felt collaborative and the whole experience was very positive.
Now I'm off to bed!

I've been on Karl's training before, he's brilliant.👍
So excited to be delivering training to PGCE trainees at Bishop Grossteste Uni tomorrow. Love sharing our school’s reading journey and I’ll hopefully inspire our new teachers to use picture books in the classroom.

Hello Bluesky! Hoping for lots of lovely book chat here.
Had a fab first day with my new book stamp that I got for Christmas. My Y6s were very keen to help.👍

My first bookpost of 2025z

Not sure how to describe it except as a work of mad genius. “Animal Albums, from A to Z” by #CeceBell. Collects 26 album covers for animal bands , presents song lyrics for songs and then you can listen to all the songs.

It’s brilliant and bonkers #PicturebookPage… 1/3

Bit of a quirky one…

“Lefty” by @dansantat.bsky.social and #MoWillems is a a fab information text about left-handed history, it’s also very silly and is joyous book about understanding differences and that at the end of the day they really don’t matter. Fab art and playful text. #PicturebookPage
