A little bit of the great Jan Pieńkowski to start your week. These pictures are from Jan’s treasure chest of an archive. He was a meticulous archiver. (I knew Jan all my life and am now one of his literary executors). There’s so much wonderful work in here to discover🧵

Mega Meltdown by Jack Tite is a favourite of my daughter’s #NNFN2014 collection. Full of amazing facts and illustrations and lots of pages which fold out. I can guarantee that this will be loved by any child. @bonnierbooks_uk @FCBGNews @The_UKLA @

My ten-year-old son has been told by his teachers that he can't take comics or manga in to read as they "aren't proper books" and they "won't help him develop his reading skills". Like, WTAF? This is why children fall out of love with reading, and it's utterly heartbreaking.

@hughbon talking on @BBCRadio2 this morning about how he, like many others, is "contractually obliged" to write a children's book, so he's "giving it a bash". How nice it must be to put minimal effort into something guaranteed to be a success. 1/

The fact that the food industry is allowed to lie so blatantly on their package is a disgrace. "Peel here", LIES.

#IrishBookWeek Last time I was in Ireland, I made sure to visit @DubrayBooks and I bought The Rachel Incident by Caroline O’Donoghue. Wonderful, as always

@JL_Horan7 I’m half way through and enjoying it. At first I found the Peter sections harder to read as it’s more stream of consciousness. But I still think I’m young and I’m 41 😆😆
