Hodge the Hedgehog, by Amy Sparkes

Hodge the hedgehog is written by Amy Sparkes and illustrated by Benji Davies.  The story is about sharing and helping each other.  Hodge the Hedgehog hogs the big hedge (he's selfish).

My favourite part was when Hodge the Hedgehog started sharing.  I think children aged 5-8 years would enjoy reading this book.  It would be good for teachers to read to a younger group of children, to teach them about sharing.

This book could be better by having more talking between characters.

I give it 3 stars out of 5.  By Emily

What's in the Witch's Kitchen? By Nick Sharratt

This was one of the stories read to LT 1 during the Travelling Library Roadshow.  We now have it in our library - in the teacher's section.

'What's in the Witch's Kitchen?,' be prepared to be surprised!  Will you turn the flap left or right, up or down?

The illustrations are bright and colourful.  This book could be used to inspire children to come up with their own  A3 pictures, with flaps, of what else could be in the Witch's Kitchen.

Clifford's Return...

Who is Clifford?

Hi everybody I'm the under cover library reporter. I'm reporting on the outstanding incident of Clifford.  Yes, that's right, it is Clifford here at Freeville School. It was so amazing! Unfortunately he didn't like too many pictures, so we needed to be sneaky, and he had to go so early. But it was so cool having him there. I wonder if he will be back that crazy Clifford! Glen
