Books take us on journeys that we can all share,
And give us the power to go anywhere!
So no matter just how, or what book,
or your speed, what I wish for NOW . . .
Is that YOU love to read!

Book Review
We should try reading in lots of different places too!
A wonderful book! Already a firm favourite and every time we read it, we find new things to discuss and explore.
It’s beautifully illustrated, my children (aged 3 and 6) enjoy pointing out all of the animals they recognise and laugh at the peculiar places they’ve chosen to read, they particularly enjoyed trying to read upside down like the ostrich.
As we read the book, we all share ideas about different places we could try reading. The book ended with a lovely message, ‘So no matter just how…what I wish for NOW is that YOU love to read!’
My 3 year old’s final thought in response to this was, “I really like to read! Can we read it again?”
