Hello!

I could not remember when the lines above Atticus’s moving finger separated into words… (To Kill a Mockingbird)

Like Scout, I can’t remember a time when I couldn’t read and my obsession with books has been with me all my life. As a teacher, I love trying to find exactly the right book for every child, to spark that life-long love of reading which is so magical.

I have been teaching for more years than I care to mention and have always been a huge fan of class story time- my favourite time of day. I hope my reviews will help other teachers find the perfect book for their class as a story, as the basis for work in class, for guided reading, for their class or school library or for book events. As well as reading for pleasure, I read as a teacher, constantly thinking of how books could be used to inspire children and ignite their love of reading.
