Wanted! Ralfy Rabbit, Book Burglar by Emily MacKenzie
Ralfy Rabbit’s book obsession leads him into big trouble in this very amusing, beautifully illustrated story. But can anybody help him find a solution to his book addiction?
Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book by Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler
With Book Giving Day taking place in just over a week we’ve been reading some of our favourite books about books. Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book is ten years old this year and the anniversary edition includes some of Axel Scheffler’s original artwork and an updated cover.
Book inspired Valentines Day crafts
With Valentines Day coming up we decided to get crafty and some of our favourite books provided us with inspiration. We didn’t need to buy anything new for these crafts, we already had everything we needed at home – biscuit cutters make great heart templates!
Winnie the Pooh by A. A. Milne & Ernest Shepherd
I read Winnie the Pooh as a child and my daughter now has her own copy. I wasn’t sure whether she would be too young for the stories but she loves them and we often read several in one sitting.
Badger And The Great Storm by Suzanne Chiew & Caroline Pedler
Badger And The Great Storm is the perfect story to snuggle up with while the wind howls around outside. Badger’s kindness in helping to protect the woodland animals’ homes is reciprocated when his own home is destroyed in the storm.
Otto The Book Bear by Katie Cleminson
Otto The Book Bear is a lovely celebration of reading, writing, libraries, books and friendship.

Just under a month to go! International Book Giving Day takes place on Saturday February 14th. It’s one of Story Snug’s favourite days of the year!
Dangerous! by Tim Warnes
Dangerous! tells the story of a label obsessed Mole who sticks labels onto everything. It’s a very amusing story and I am really excited about the potential for using this book in the literacy classroom.
Picture books about snow
We’ve had our first snow of the season which has prompted us to read some of our favourite snowy picture books. They include snowballs, snowy journeys, hibernation, penguins and cold, snowy nights. We’d love to hear your snowy picture book suggestions too.
