We've loved this story in Y1/2 by Daniela Sosa on so many levels: exploration and discovery for children, memories for staff. So much to talk about and tell! Fantastic for discussing our grandparents and discovering how technology has developed. @simonkids_UK @BST_Tokyo @bstpta

Our youngest readers have been loving hearing about Fraidy Dog by Kate Sheehy from @OBrienPress in Dublin! They loved finding out about Fraidy Dog's fears but also how he was helped by a friend. They have had so much to talk about! Fantastic and so useful! @BST_Tokyo @BST_PTA

I jumped for joy when I saw the latest part of this great series by @msassyk and @nathanfairbairn set in Vancouver about two rival dog walking groups! This is my absolute favourite one so far! Great story, humour and graphics. Everyone will love it! @penguinusa @bst_tokyo @bstpta

This week we have been discussing this great book by @_lufraser and Kate Hindley. We absolutely loved talking about Nora who never gives up and is learning it is good to be different! We also loved Grandad who encourages Nora! @simonkidsuk @BST_Tokyo @bstpta
