In case you missed my post last month, I decided that this year I would record all the books my 5 year old and I read together. I’ve been snapping a quick picture of all the books from each day, and collecting them in an album over on my blog’s Facebook page. Here’s our pile […] Read more…
So, the boys’ birthdays were a couple months ago now, but Oskar really wanted to do a short book haul video because he’s loving all the books he got and wanted to share them with you. If you enjoyed the video, I’d be really grateful if you would subscribe to my channel. Thanks! List of Books: Shifty […] Read more…
World Book Day is coming up in the UK on 5th March, one of my kids’ favourite days of the year. They have been planning what to wear for months. However, World Book Day has been known to cause many a parent a bit of a headache – not everyone is inclined to spend hours […] Read more…

Hands up if you love your local library! We are regular visitors at ours, despite the number of books we already own ourselves.

If there is anything I love more than reading books with my kids, it’s reading books with them that I used to love myself as a child. One childhood classic my parents used to read to me is Heidi, by Swiss author Johanna Spyri, first published in 1881. So when Nosy Crow offered to send […] Read more…
