2008 National Year of Reading
It’s time for some glitz and glamour this month, with a theme of Screen Reads.
We’re offering a Watch the Film, Read the Book pack in celebration. Containing 12 books that have been adapted for the big screen, it’s a red carpet full of fiction’s superstars.
Hot off the press…
Children’s Laureate Michael Rosen has generously created and donated, for the National Year of Reading (and for children everywhere), this spectacular poem. Why not create your own verses celebrating the kinds of words you like most?
