My class are reading @scattyscribbler.bsky.social ‘s fantastic “Rivet Boy” and learned all about Andrew Carnegie from her Time Tunnellers video. We made a pact that if any of us become very rich we will build a library in their village.

There are such a great range of fantastic children’s books around! I had a reluctant reader recently who downloaded the audiobook of our class novel because he was desperate to know what happened next.
