I have decided to go back to using this account for library/children’s book tweets. We are updating the library at school and I will have more to say on this matter again! Anyone following me for my wildlife tweets or street photos can follow me at @outdoors_fi

Thank you so much @scholasticuk for sending us this book! I desperately hoped we would win it for the library in the @youthlibraries competition and we did! I read it this afternoon, it’s as good as I suspected it would be @tompalmerauthor

Another lovely book from @AbramsChronicle thank you. Henry finds a way to join in with the class parade even though he at first finds the idea overwhelming. A lovely insight into the different way some children think.

When I was a child (pre iPads and 24hr children’s TV) I would spend hours pouring over this book. Looking at it tonight is a wonderful trip down memory lane.

Dad fetched the big box of decorations from the attic. They spent a lot of time arranging them on the tree. When they had finished, they switched on the fairy lights and left the curtains open so that all the people passing by could see it. Alfie’s Christmas

Thank you @DFB_storyhouse and @youthlibraries for this copy of the new Bunny vs Monkey. Couldn’t have asked for a better addition to our school library.
