Evening all…
We’re at that stage in Boy #1’s education where reading is moving from being a chore for him, to something he loves. I’m a bookworm myself so it’s a delight for me to see him with his head buried in a book, even if it is about Ben 10 or PowerRangers rather than something more edifying (he is only 6, after all). So any hints on finding new books for him to read – or for me to read to him – are gratefully received, which is why when I found Natasha Worswick’s blog I was immediately interested. She writes that her blog is:
‘…about lots of things really, but it tends to focus on children’s books (the ones I’ve enjoyed or not), the publishing industry, children’s marketing and tracking my son Milo’s reading habits.’
I liked her post about hospital books, and ideas of titles you can use to entertain children on long journeys. And as for the link to the Q&A page of Andrew Stanton’s site – brilliant. I will definitely be adding his books to the Boys’ collection.

I have such wonderful childhood memories of lying on the hot verandah (in rural Australia) being read book after book after book. That has stayed with me and I hope my children look back and feel the same way. If you really love books, can I recommend my friend's site, she does great reviews (no it isn't me!!) and writes about all things bookish. http://pagesetc.wordpress.com/

My son has finally discovered the joy of books and is devouring them - which I love. I am a book worm too, so I am so happy he's loving this new world. My daughter is still trying to get to grips, but hopefully one days she will....
