by Dick King-Smith (Puffin)

A brilliant adventure with a loveable cast of quirky animals. Many of my classes over the years have adored this lovely tale in which the large and hairy mongrel, Lubber, and his misfit group of friends, try to find his owners.

by Anthony Browne (Walker)

A book that really gets children talking. They love spotting the well-known characters from fairy tales and are naturally encouraged to predict events.

The Tunnel is my ‘go to’ book for exploring relationships. It is such a simple story, in a way, and yet can bring out the most complex of discussions.

by Ian Serraillier (Red Fox)

This book was read to me by Mrs Taylor as a class read when I was ten – it literally changed my life.

by Frank Cottrell Boyce (Macmillan)

Touching, clever and it makes you want to hunt out pictures of great art on the internet. A brilliant class read.

A new old-fashioned fairytale.
