But don’t just take my word for it. This is what someone on Amazon said: “Beautiful illustrations and the nature stories are amazing”

Currently only £8 on Amazon. Perfect for inquisitive kids from 5 upwards.

Thought I’d put together some book suggestions in case anyone needs recommendations for Christmas presents. So, here’s my list of the best nonfiction children’s books I’ve published this year… a 🧵

Happy Book Birthday to @carlmwilkinson and @grrrrace as Nature in a Nutshell is published today! Discover the natural wonders of science that exist all around you in this brilliant (and gorgeous) book.

Anecdotal evidence from #WorldBookDay at my kids' school suggests an uptick in #RoaldDahl costumes: swarms of oompa loompas, a Mr Fox, even a giant Wonka bar and a Danny. Fewer #HarryPotter and Hermiones than previous years though

@guywalters This is like an early draft of The Menu

Read of the day is the visit by Farrah Storr to the hell that is Noma. thetimes.co.uk/article/63d7de…

@kieronquirke Jeez. Venice! So run down and old looking and seems like the road is flooded too. Hardly KT, is it.

Also, I haven’t heard anyone call anyone ‘buttmunch’ for years. Am I getting old?

@rafaelbehr 🥳

If you Google “prime ministers”, it’s clear even the algorithm got the memo that Rishi Sunak is short. Ouch!

@TRtravels I hope you’ve got a ‘five travel writers on the most embarrassing injuries they’ve sustained abroad’ piece pegged to his North Pole frostnip ‘incident’….

Times features conference earlier: Anyone got any Harry angles left?

@TRtravels 😂

@caitlinmoran It’s an anecdote he tells with biro (apols Jonathan Coe)

My favourite thing in "Spare" so far: the running joke about Princess Margaret giving him a single Biro for Christmas 1999.

What’s that? Not read enough about Spare? Well come this way…. ‘When it comes to Prince Harry’s beard, I’m team hairy’ ft.com/content/ef3971…

@arctictony Sorry to hear this T. I know you’ll rebound and thrive. Hope Twitter is as resilient. X

Those folks have a gargantuan task ahead of them & I hope they never stop fighting to get closer to the light. In the meantime, there’s a few thousand incredible people available who can be the mitochondria of companies everywhere. Let’s find some amazing people new homes.

I'm also consciously uncoupled from Twitter. It’s a weird day, people on either side of the 50% aren’t sure whether to be grateful or gutted. What I know is how honored I am to have spent time with wonderful people who show an unprecedented level of care for each other.

@BBCMorelle @kc_camera When I heard you on the radio earlier that was not what I pictured 😂

It might look like I’ve been put in the naughty corner - but this is the oh so glamorous world of radio broadcasting (I’m trying to keep out of the wind) - thanks @kc_camera and Nigel Craze for the pix #ArtemisLaunch #ArtemisNoLaunch
