The Book Club recommends children’s books on different themes and for different age groups every Monday until the end of August. Recommendations include old favourites, classics, new releases, books you can borrow from the library and books to delight the whole family.
This year is even more special because they've enlisted the help of Frank Cottrell-Boyce, SLA Patron, award-winning author and screenwriter and the current Waterstones Children’s Laureate, as well as Cressida Cowell, author and illustrator of the bestselling the How to Train Your Dragon.
As Frank is a Patron of the SLA, this year we thought we'd get involved and support the Book Club by suggesting our own reading recommendations on each weekly theme!
Read on to discover our recommendations on this week's theme, and be sure to check back next week for more.
KS1
- A wonderfully funny tale ostensibly about size with Marcel in trouble from start to finish.
- A collection of poems to be read aloud and to have fun with.
KS2
- A new series from this author which promises as many laughs as WLTGO
- No funny list is complete without a Dog Man graphic novel.
KS3
- When Reggie decides to learn the skills behind mind control and hypnotises his headmaster into clucking like a chicken, what can go wrong?
