One of 5 books read aloud in Yr 1 yesterday, but the only one that caused a collective gasp as the chn realised who Nicky would become. Absolutely magical.
It is a joy to read this aloud and might just be my festive favourite.

This month’s book for Yr1 from Chicken & Frog was the heart warming Blanket Bears, telling the story of the adoption process.
‘Oh, they took off their blankets now their fur has grown because they feel safe now and loved in their hearts.’ 😭 ❤️
A really precious story time

The man wears crocs for starters…
‘They’re the height of comfort,’ he says when challenged about his crocs, without a note of shame.
This made me laugh out loud. And then I remembered these new travesties that keep popping up in adverts! 🫣😳

Thank you PuffinBooks, Pippa Goodhart and #NickSharratt for a wonderful celebration of #YouChooseChristmas . Yr 1 were fully engaged and there was superb discussion about their choices. We loved it.
I can’t wait to share this with Yr 1 tomorrow. And we have signed up to the draw along too. They will LOVE it 🥰 #NickSharratt Pippa Goodhart PuffinBooks
What a perfectly festively warm and wise story this is! I absolutely loved it 🥰
For those with more restraint than me, it is told in 25 perfectly sized chapters for reading aloud in the countdown to Christmas. My copy is now with my 10yo to start on Friday. 🎅🏽 L. D. Lapinski

Working my way through the UCLA longlist has meant I’ve had little time to select my own reading and tbh, I’ve really missed it.
It’s wonderful to be able to dive into this today. I am absolutely ready for its festive cheer 🎅🏽 🌲

This is a superb spooky mystery; feisty characters and a chilling, historical mystery that gently unfurls, gathering speed in the fast paced and tense closing chapters. Fans of Aveline will not be disappointed by Phil Hickes Author’s new series.
