It's #WorldBookDay so I'm giving away two signed copies of the Waterstones Special Edition of Blockbusters - which includes new material and a donation to BookTrust - to someone who RTs this

Yes children need to read a lot, daily - avidly consuming graphic novels, comics, magazines, novels, poems, nonfiction - lots and lots of practice.

I am loving this!! The return of Meepie, some Skipper backstory and a new character who may appear in other adventures … this series is perfection! 😊

Coming soon! We Are Dragon by Alastair Chisholm Following the sheer brilliance of I Am Wolf and I Am Raven, this third and final instalment in the series is a masterclass in high-stakes world-building. wp.me/p87bl3-25F @NosyCrow @alastair_ch

This Thursday!
The eighth book in our series, 'Adventuremice: Of Mice and Mummies' launches this month, on 26 Feb! (I had a particularly good time painting this one because I was obsessed with Egyptology when I was little.) If you pre-order from your favourite bookseller, that would be ace!💛

Thanks @WalkerBooksUK for this lovely selection of picture books. From an introduction to the traditions and joys of Eid, to a funny story about a squirrel who likes being sticky, to a fantastic and very mathematical story about goats.

Guess what someone is reading right now? It lives up to book one and it’s magical to be back in the world of Yaga Houses. Many thanks @FrithaL and @Usborne

A girl who loves her pony and her grandparents’ stables. The future of the stables called into question. A boy who could help and a historical rivalry between two families. Every generation needs horsey books and Olivia Tuffin is a star. Thanks to @NosyCrow for sending.

Moana meets Frozen in this beautiful middle grade verse novel. Fia And The Last Snow Deer is true storytelling. Both the words and illustrations left me feeling as if I was gathered around a fire in ancient times hearing an epic tale. Review to come. @PuffinBooks

This is why teachers are the best. ⭐️
Some of my class didn’t come on residential this week, but I got back to my classroom today and they’ve made this amazing NYC art. Love it!

In the last third of ‘Keep Your Friends Close’. This is scary as 3am reading material goes but I can’t leave it unfinished! Terrifying, gripping and proper 1990s vibes. What’s not to love? @CynthiaMurphyYA @penguinplatform
