@JodieHodges31 @jamiesmart @DFB_storyhouse @phoenixcomicuk Ah, those were the days! Well done that man!

What's that? Just @jamiesmart in the top 10 bestselling authors of the year so far. 🙌

@leanne_clarkson No idea! You’ll have to ask Axel.

@ianwhybrow my daughter wanted to know what this jungle animal is from the first page of The Bedtime Bear. And I had no idea. My family have guessed a bunch from tapir to wild boar. Can you settle the debate please?

@PaintingsLondon Gosh

'Spring in St John's Wood' (1933) by Dame Laura Knight (Walker Art Gallery)

@mooseandmouse Do you charge for entry to your place, Colin?

Now that I have become a man, I have done away with childish things. Not.

@PaintingsLondon @MichaelRosenYes Brings it all back. Lovely.

'Notting Hill Gate' by Denys G. Wells (1881–1973) (Private collection)

@mrjamesmayhew Course it did. Brilliant!

@fasc1nate It IS fascinating. Would you mind telling me what specifically these stats relate to. Any particular town, for example?

Causes of death in London, 1632. Anything stand out?

@mrjamesmayhew Tremendous, James. Changing fashion isn’t necessarily for the better.

@mooseandmouse Always a joy to see your finds, Colin. Thanks.

@CycleSprog @KidicalMassRead And you probably noticed - Adrian being Welsh- that he seems to be cycling somewhere … on the Gower, perhaps.

@KidicalMassRead @ianwhybrow This collection has a lot more like the Harry books where cycling is just something the characters happen to do, rather than the main plot uk.bookshop.org/lists/kids-lov…?

We love #harryandthedinosaurs the toddler makes me read them on repeat (thanks @ianwhybrow) I came on to rave about how they normalise kids travelling on their mum’s #bike. Then I found @CycleSprog had written a whole article on kids books with bikes. cyclesprog.co.uk/reviews/kids-c…

@Jennife09761350 @the_bookfairies @BookfairiesEdin @BookfairiesScot @NatGalleriesSco What a nice idea! Merry Christmas!

Today the Book Fairies have been hiding pre-loved Christmas books around Edinburgh. Did you find this copy of Harry and the Dinosaurs Make a Christmas Wish by @ianwhybrow at the National Gallery? #Ibelieveinbookfairies #bookfairiesedinburgh #bookfairiesscotland #christmasbooks

@CycleSprog @KidicalMassRead Please feel free to talk about Harry books any time. Merry Christmas

@Conscious_Comms @CambridgeUP @IOE_London @SchoolsWeek So nice to be thought about! Thanks

#CCis10: In this month… Rewind back to 2016 when we supported @CambridgeUP and @IOE_London to launch Cambridge Reading Adventures with @ianwhybrow and renowned children’s illustrator Alan Rogers. #Throwback to @SchoolsWeek coverage: schoolsweek.co.uk/book-series-fo…

@st_tyrella The secret is read, read and read -and listen to the way people talk. Good luck!

@ianwhybrow hello mr Whybrow, I am in Primary 5 and we are looking at picture for younger kids, I really enjoyed badness for beginners. Have you any tips on writing picture books?

@IrishWebGuy Thanks for letting us know! Merry Christmas! Raaaaah!

@ianwhybrow my kids just went “Raaaah!”….. enjoyed the stories to no end…. #endosaurus. Thank you for the joy.

@throckleyprim Thanks for letting us dinosaurs know! Raaaaaah!

Nursery have had a ROARsome time learning all about Harry and his bucketful of dinosaurs! @ianwhybrow #ThriveAtThrockley #ThrockleyEYFS

@mooseandmouse Here is a Christmassy riposte. Please spread it on your cheese on toast, or pop it in your reticule and have a very merry Yule.

A Merry Christmas to all friends here (Though some of you have disappeared) Upon my bicycle and beard I love you all, although you’re weird.

@Nursery1TSP Well! What a nice surprise. That’s the first of the Harry books, before he persuaded the dinosaurs to get into the bucket. Did you ask the children where the snow people came from? Different age groups have a very different understanding of that. Marry Christmas!

Olaf had been busy playing with our toys today…we couldn’t find our wooden people anywhere! We were so excited to read the book ‘Harry and the Snow King’ @ianwhybrow and we loved seeing all the snow people ❄️☃️🤴#TSPEnglish

@LivingPaintings A loud happy ChRAAAAAAAHsmas from Ian Whybrow and the other dinosaurs in the bucket.

A Christmas wish for Archie, from his big sister Lilly 🎅 Could you make their wish come true? 🎄 Your support will put more Touch to See books on our shelves so every blind or visually impaired child can feel the magic of stories at Christmas 📚 livingpaintings.org/christmaswishes

@M3Wij @JohnLyonHarrow @PunterDavid Proud of you, Malin! Thanks for waving a flag for me. All best, Ian

@JohnLyonHarrow @PunterDavid @ianwhybrow I remember Mr Whybrow @ianwhybrow very well! He was my first English teacher @JohnLyonHarrow when I joined in 1989, class 1J2 ❤️ Sir, I hope you are keeping well!
