Murder! by Narwhal! By #AlexTSmith is easily one of my reads of the year. Utterly sublime in every way! Combining the golden age of the whodunnit with silly guffawing humour! An absolute triumph! @hachettechildrens.bsky.social @hodderbooks.bsky.social tomsbookcorner.wordpress.com/2025/02/22/m...

Back from a lovely break. Was so relaxing my body came down with a very phlegmy lergy and my voice has gone (much to the kids delight!) Have swopped Glühwein for Lemsip…. Just glad it only happened towards end of holiday! 🤧🫖🍯🫚

This poem stems from one of the most bizarre dreams I’ve ever had. Anyway - the first 3 lines of this poem were a prominent part of the dream and I wrote them down as soon as I woke up. In the dream I was chaperoning Snoop Doggy Dog to school workshops….like I said…BIZARRE! #nomorecheesebeforebed

Children need modelled behaviour and freedom of book choice!! LOVE the idea of laundry baskets filled with books instead of never ending laundry 🤗

Parents regularly ask me “How do I get my child to read?” I ask them “How much do you read in front of your kids?” My parents read a lot in front of me. One of the books on my Dad’s bookshelf was this one. I vaguely remember him telling me about it when I asked. Finally got round to reading it…

Love this. Wish I could read stories to kids. But I think I look a bit too scary and creepy. Would give them nightmares! 😂
