Thanks Elicia! I'm a big fan of
The Man Whose Mother Was A Pirate but I don't know that book. It looks fantastic.

Hello and thanks for the warm welcome. Here is a review I wrote to get started on Green Eggs and Ham which is one of my favourite children's books of all time. I am sure I am not the only one who loves Dr. Seuss? http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

This is a great review, Deb! Did you know that you can read this book if you have a sight vocabulary of only 50 words (The Cat in the Hat you need 100)? It's an ideal early reader, and the rhythm and rhyme elements make it ideal to read to Nursery and Reception classes to help them identify rhyme.
Hello!! Here is my review on a well known favourite The BFG... I can't wait to get started in September and look forward to reading around for the next two reviews.http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Thanks Sarah! It's a great book, one that children really respond to. If you like Roald Dahl, I recommend Andy Stanton's Mr Gum books- the word play is brilliant, and David Walliams's children's books, in particular Mr Stink or Gangster Granny.
Thank you Alison, I was thinking of reviewing one of David Walliams books next, they look brilliant.

She has limited speech and this helped to extend her vocab. Dr. Seuss would be a great to read for anybody who is doing the PGCE Early Years.
Hello, I'm Meghan and will be starting in September. Very excited! Here's my review on Dear Zoo, a book I stumbled over today whilst working in a nursery.http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

You need to make sure that you are linking to the review, not the book- otherwise only people who are friends with you will see your review. http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/... goes straight to your review.

Hi everyone,Here is my review of You're A Bad Man, Mr Gum! by Andy Stanton. It was so good I am seriously tempted to read the whole series!

Thanks for your review, Sarah. Mr Gum is a huge favourite of mine, too. http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/... is a link to your review, rather than to the book.
Hello everyone! here is my review to one of my favourite books 'elmer the elephant'.http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Thanks Jamila! It's a fantastic book for teaching the names of colours in the Early Years and KS1, especially to children in the early stages of learning English, and to explore the effects of colour and colour mixing.

Hey. Here is my review of 'Clockwork, All Wound Up' by Philip Pullman. It's a bit long, I got a little carried away. http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Mod
Hello, all. Hope I've posted the link correctly. This is my review of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Hi everyone, nice to see you all here!Here's a review of Coram Boy by Jamila Gavin, which is probably more suitable for the upper years of primary - but I enjoyed it so much I had to review it.

Welcome, Kawsor! Anansi is a great character. Traditional tales are a big feature of literacy teaching, and it is good to have stories from around the world, not just from Europe.

Thanks Alexander! That's a great book. Have you read There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom? A couple of trainees used it last year with Y6 to discuss issues to do with bullying and preparing children for the transition for secondary school.
