Five Favourite Books about Dogs

Mini Reviewer, Theo (3), seems to gravitate towards books about dogs at the moment and he has even put in his own request for a puppy! So when we realised that Chinese New Year will be celebrated this Friday and 2018 happens to be the Year of the Dog, we thought now was the perfect time to share Theo's Five Favourite Books About Dogs.

Chapter Book of the Month: WE ARE NOT FROGS!

So February seems to be whizzing by which means that it is time for us to share our chapter book choice for this month. Mini Reviewer, Izzie, is getting quite into the swing of "team reading" longer books at bedtime. Having finished Matilda, all the current Isadora Moon stories and several Rainbow Fairy stories, we have just started Bee Boy and are trying to finish Pippi Longstocking. Unfortunately I seem to be getting even slower at writing about our favourites but please do bear with us!

Picture Book of the Month: The Last Chip

Our picture book pick this month has to be The Last Chip created by Duncan Beedie and published by Templar Books. 

International Book Giving Day 2018 #BookGivingDay

Last year we participated in International Book Giving Day for the first time by sharing our love of books with our family, friends and local community and guess what? We are planning to do it all again this year and today we are delighted to be able to share with you something very special... the official poster for International Book Giving Day 2018!

Chapter Book of the Month: NIGHT ZOOKEEPER The Giraffes of Whispering Wood

To mark the start of the new year, we thought we would shake up how we organise our book reviews at Along Came Poppy. So now every month we will be picking our favourite new chapter book, picture book and non-fiction read to share with you. Where possible we will try and feature new releases but from time to time we may throw in an older book that we have read for the first time. It is our way of ensuring we include a fair share of non-fiction (we do read a lot) and of course, chapter books, which we are now reading more of. We do hope you continue to enjoy our reviews and find some book-spiration this year!
