- Pia's Pet Club by @serenakpatel.bsky.social is perfect for animal lovers. My eldest inhaled this doggy tale and may have (over) identified with the woes of been unable to have a pet. #KidLitUK
- Slug Life by Moesha Kellaway seamlessly combines fact and fiction with comic style illustrations and interactive tasks, to celebrate my youngest's favourite mini beast: the underrated slug! A total joy. #KidLitUK
- I Am Raven by Alastair Chisholm @alastairc.com was always going to be on our must read list following the brilliance that is I Am Wolf. It did not disappoint, and has only left us desperate for more from this unique world. @nosycrow.bsky.social #KidLitUK
- Reposted by CPDid someone say graphic novel? Because me and #MinkyStapleton did a thing with Team #Scholastic!

- Letters to a Monster by Patricia Forde and Sarah Warburton is an imaginative tale told through humorous letters between Sophie and the monster who lives under her bed. We loved watching fear and mistrust blossom into friendship.
- PIICKLESS! Friendship, entrepreneurship, dogs and fermentation humour, who could ask for more? My daughter is really hoping the library will be stocking more of this series as it is right up her street. #KidsGN📚💬
- Reposted by CPShortlisted for #LLYF25 and #WBOTY25 - Wales Book of the Year 2025! Congratulations, Sarah Ziman and #WhyDidMyBrainMakeMeSayIt - such a brilliant, playful collection of poetry. #poetryforchildren #childrenspoetry @nation.cymru
- That face says it all! Brenda (the cat) is not ok with this game. Brenda's Revenge by Sarah Tagholm and Laurie Stansfield portray's the importance of respecting the bodily autonomy of others (animals included) in a humorous and relatable way. #KidLitUK
- Reposted by CPToday's review...'Shrapnel Boys' by Jenny Pearson. Powerful and thought-provoking! www.throughthebookshelf.com/reviews/shrapnel-boys
- Ice Apprentices by Jacob North is an icy adventure that I am glad I got to share. The magical world is deeply immersive, the plot action packed and so edge of your seat that parts of it was read to a lump hiding under the duvet! We need more from this series! #KidLitUK
- Reposted by CPMy fifteenth book, out next month! Second of the Lizards books with the wonderful Tim Miller ! The plot: Daniel wears a hat! Only birds wear hats! Kerfuffle ensues! Out in June. Honestly, genuinely think it’s one of my best books. Everything came together like magic.

- Reposted by CPReally enjoyed Ghost Town, especially because it took the story in several different directions and wasn’t afraid to take some risks. Think this is definitely going to be a popular one with UKS2.
- Reposted by CPDragonborn is out TODAY! Soaring off to bookshops across the country and into the hands of young readers. It is, I think, the very best book I've written, and I'm so excited to see it fly. Farewell little dragon, safe travels! X
- Cloud Boy by Greg Stobbs explores importance of embracing yourself for who you are, celebrating your strengths and accepting help for things you struggle with. #KidLitUK
