Today in Y6 we looked at poems that could be read forwards & backwards. I was stunned by this one written by one of my 10 year olds. Please share - I would love her work to be appreciated further afield. I wonder if it could even find a publisher?

I'm delighted to win this proof copy @FCBGNews giveaway from @PuffinBooks. Thank you! I will have a number of readers desperate to get their hands on this London-based adventure and magic-filled quest. It looks great! Thank you!

Thank you @Scallywagpress for this perfect picture book which will help our EYFS children understand germination, the joy of watching a sunflower grow and the importance of seeds as food for wildlife. PERFECT! I'm excited to add it to our library!

Look at this gorgeous book from @bsmallpub that I won in an @FCBGNews giveaway! It is a beautifully illustrated and brilliantly structured book in bitesize double-page spreads that teaches Primary aged children of the importance of our tiny critters. Love it! Thank you!

A great article about Judy the War Dog soon to be featured in a new book by @tompalmerauthor

There are do many good books this month! I can't wait to read War Dog by @tompalmerauthor and Jellybeans by @BarringtonStoke and so many great nonfiction titles too! Thanks @MrEPrimary ! (See my DM!).

I love these thoughts from Chris Lloyd @whatonearthbook about how to engage reluctant readers! Thanks Chris! I am a huge fan of @WhatonEarth_Mag for sparking curiosity in children and finding out what really interests them!

Short of a good book to read this summer? Look no further than this fabulous round-up of July's new books from @MrEPrimary! Top of my summer reading is Running my Own Race from @NosyCrow.

I love these videos from @MrEPrimary. I'm looking forward to reading A Box Full of Murders, Choose Your Own Evolution @NosyCrow, Naeli and the Secret Song, Nautical, and Secret Lives of Women Spies - so many good books!.

This is brilliant news! I am excited to see the combined impact of two organisations that are already significant forces for change in the world of children's literacy and reading.

I'm late to read this from @MiriamHalahmy @FireflyPress but I'm glad I have: an important YA novel exploring themes of addiction, OCD, debt & homelessness. I loved the characters of Tasha & Josie and their unlikely friendship in the toughest of times. Older pupils would love it!

I am so thrilled to receive these bright NEON books in an @FCBGNews giveaway from @KidsBloomsbury. They will be perfect for confident readers in Years 3 and 4! @Sibealpounder thank you for writing such engaging books!

The most precious item in my @D_DuMaurier collection are the original brass spine stamps for The Winding Stair & The Glass Blowers, given to me by a former employee of Victor Gollancz; the company gave away the stamps to workers. Knowing I was an avid DM fan, she gave them to me!

It was very special meeting @MichaelRosenYes today at @GoldsmithsUoL whom I have long admired, and whose writing I have shared as a mum and educator, and collected as an independent reader. I can't wait to read the tale of the Hairy Blanket which has yet to be written!

Hearing about the importance of myths, legends and folk tales, their longevity, impact, and the lessons they teach us in times of insecurity and chaos with @PiersTorday #ashbond and #sandrasalehreyhani #FCBG2025

Fantastic to listen to the brilliant Gill Lewis, hear about her writing and how her words can empower children to see injustice and want change, and her passion to protect Ceibwr Bay in Pembrokeshire. #FCBG25

What a privilege to chair the information book discussion with Ben Hoare and Lily Dyu with their brilliant books from @NosyCrow. #FCBG25

Fabulous to watch the wonderful Jackie Morris paint. what a special way to dedicate a book! And what an incredible bookshop at this year's conference! Norfolk Children's Book Centre #FCBG25

Great to hear from Lesley Parr @WelshDragonParr at #FCBG25 whose new book I have read already and loved! A huge fan of both the writing of @WelshDragonParr, and @BarringtonStoke making the work of great authors accessible to more children.

Fantastic to be at #FCBG25 and kicking off the evening are poets Alex Warton and Kate Williams.
