Our April competition is inspired this month by the Big Read. Books are obviously very dear to your hearts, as demonstrated by Maz’s recent thread on favourite children’s books. So for this competition we are asking you to pick a favourite book (just one, sorry! :unsure: ) and write a review on it. It could be a children’s fiction book, an information book or a book to inform your own practice and provision but it does have to be childcare related! We only want one review per book, so if your favourite has already been chosen you will need to choose a different book. When you have picked the book you are intending writing a review on, please post in this threa…

A little girl in my school (year 4) has just found out her mum has cancer. Hopefully it's treatable but she's very upset and has lots of difficult feelings. I just wondered if anyone knows of any books that are helpful for this situation. Thank you. Emma

Hi Not been on for a long time but hope you can help.... Can any one recommend any 'Big' story books, that children love because you become really animated and the children get involved whilst you are telling the story? I know you will all have your favourites so look forward to hearing about them! Thanks Jayde
