BST Book Week is coming to a close and Primary classrooms have transformed their doors into book covers! Each class created something unique, with every child adding their own mark, resulting in a fantastic showcase of creativity & a brilliant selection of much-loved books.

We're always excited to get a new book by Joe Todd-Stanton! Beautiful story that has spellbound every class, glued to the pages, absolutely absorbed! This book is exceptional, not to be missed! Thanks to @FlyingEyeBooks for always giving us such amazing books! @BST_Tokyo @BST_PTA

Just, just arrived on our Parents' Shelves, requested by and eagerly awaited by our very own @bstSekine (our expert book selector) by @caroclaireburke. This book is in such high demand that we have staff vying over it to get it first! @4thEstateBooks @BST_Tokyo @BST_PTA

For all our Detective Conan fans, Part 108 (!) is now here and ready for borrowing! Make sure to put your name in the hat quickly if you want to be the first to read it! Bound to be extremely popular! @ShogakukanComic @BST_Tokyo @BST_PTA

Part 2 of the Mizzy Mysteries by @ClaireHatcher6. Mizzy is off for a week with Oli's cousins and she thinks she saw a shadow on a shipwreck. With nobody really believing her, it is up to her solve the mystery that starts getting nasty as she digs deeper. @BST_Tokyo @BST_PTA

@aspinall_sue Hope it is the first of many returns.

Beatrice von Bormann 🇳🇱, curator at the Museum de Fundatie, Zwolle, transfers the ownership of ‘Ama O Ghe Ehan’ - a Benin bronze plaque depicting a mudfish, back to Dr Babatunde Adabiyi 🇳🇬 curator of the National Museum of Benin City.

We loved Monkeypig by Huw Aaron, author of 'Sleep Tight, Disgusting Blob'. There is an imposter amongst the monkeys...and Molly, the Monkeypig, has a secret! After three monkey ability tests, will the imposter be revealed? Full of humour! @PuffinBooks @BST_Tokyo @BST_PTA

What a fantastic book, loved by all in today's Reception classes, by @Ilustrajo! Every class was spell bound by both the text and illustrations. Everyone wanted to hear it again, especially at the end with the cat! Great suspense, humour and fun! @FLCBooks@BST_Tokyo @BST_PTA

Just arrived here from London, by the very popular Japanese author @yuzukiasako who also wrote 'Butter'. Available for your Easter Reading, but hurry as it will be out on loan very soon! Available after school and during our Coffee Mornings. @4thestatebooks @bst_tokyo @bstpta

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
