21.01.2022 Posted @withregram @mypicturebookheart Here’s the last picture book related costume idea before we return to regular programming... If you’ve got an astronaut dress-up costume then you’re ready to Blast Off to Book Week! If you don’t have a ready-made costume, you can make your own by drawing or printing astronaut badges and sticking them on a white t-shirt. Or you can even use a white Hazmat suit from Bunnings! Thanks for this clever idea, Shelly!... For more last-minute Book Week Dress-up ideas, check out my latest blog post.

15.01.2022 Filming today for #NationalSimultaneousStoryTime2020 at Gungahlin Library, Such a fun and ‘blingy’ book. @lucindagifford @scholastic_au @allenandunwin #storytime #booksforkids #picturebooks #nationalsimultaneousstorytime

14.01.2022 I’m calling it early because I just fell in love - #theboythemolethefoxandthehorse by @charliemackesy is my book of the year 2020 It is beyond beautiful, I wanted to take a photo of every page to share- you probably need to buy 2 copies, one to read and one to pull the pages out to frame. It’s captured some #winniethepooh magic with fresh eyes so perfectly relevant in every way. Everyone with or without children should own this book! And if you have children it’s perfect to read with them from 6-16! We will be quoting pages of this book for centuries to come. Enjoy - and you’re welcome! #buythisbook #childrensclassics @penguinukbooks #booksforkids @ Canberra, Australian Capital Territory
