Young Readers Book Club

Does your child enjoy reading? And do they enjoy talking about books? Then get ready for our Young Readers Book Club!

The Book Club will be split into two teams – one group of Fantastic Five-to-Eight year olds, and the Amazing Nine-to-Eleven year olds. Each group will read a different book on the same theme.

For the May half term we’re looking at … Historical Fiction!

After reading the book at home, we will all sit together in our beautiful store to talk about the book. Everybody in each group will have the opportunity to discuss the book and create their own review! We will then ask the children to draw a picture to present their review!

Which book will win the book of the month? Will it be ….
