So last year went against the grain and posted my favourite reads of the previous year in Feb rather than end of Dec. And it continues. Some brilliant reads of 2024 and hopefully something in there you haven’t read yet.

Today is #WorldAnimalDay
What would they tell us, if they could?
Poem from Blue Jelly and Strawberries, published by @otterbarrybooks.bsky.social and illustrated by Kate Sheppard.
#UKKidLit #KidLitUK #Books
What Are They Trying to Tell Us? What does the mouse tell us with his squeak? What secrets hide in the eagle's beak? What does the elephant sign with her trunk? What can we learn from the stinky skunk? What does Miaow mean? What about Moo? What is Hello in Kangaroo? What tales are curled in a monkey's tail? Or held in the jaws of a great blue whale? What is the joke in a parakeet's squawk? If only animals could talk! Attie Lime

#WorldAnimalDay

If otters could talk 🦦
drifting along holding paws🦦
What would the sea say?

If beavers could talk 🦫
while building their dams🦫What would rivers say?

If turtles could talk 🐢
While gliding through blue🐢Who would whisper back?

I wrote an article for work about reading with dyslexia. This includes a list of kids books of various formats that I’ve personally found super-readable for different reasons.
