Follow young boy Kûn on a journey of the imagination through history and evolution as he pictures what life was like when dinosaurs lived, what the world was like when the moon was formed and how that event connects him to Solveig, a girl living on the other side of the planet. Awe-inspiring and thought-provoking, this stunningly illustrated companion to The Rhythm of the Rain and Wild is the Wind is a magical and memorable picture book. It’s an ideal text to provoke discussion in book groups and prompt creative ideas for writing clubs in KS2. This book is bad, both my girls disliked so much about it and were asking a lot of questions like “why does she call her parents by their Christian names” In some ways, our children are used to Christmas being virtual with travel restrictions meaning a lot of family get-togethers are being done online, and as a consequence, a lot of the long-held traditions and rituals have been let go. So as well as being an engaging read for young independent readers with a unique-till-now theme, it is also an opportunity for them to reflect on the things that they would miss most about Christmas if they were taken away. What are the things that their family does that make it a personalised experience, the things they will continue to do with their own children in years to come? What have they taken for granted? What do they want to reinstate? The HILARIOUS new novel and the year's most perfect festive gift - from million-copy bestselling author David Baddiel November 13th is World Kindness Day. Have a look at Kind by Jess McGeachin, which is released this month.

She'd rather have her grandma's tinsel, baubles and more magical memories any day. Christmas is a thing of the past in ‘Winterzone’. Computers decide who’s been naughty or nice, presents are dropped by drone, and anything decorative is a hologram. Can Etta and Monty find Santa and rescue the real Xmas before it’s too late?

November 8th is Science, Technology, Engineering, and Medicine (STEM) Day #STEMDay. Have a look at our STEM-related stories. I love this book because it really made me laugh! The best book I've read since I was born! Tom, 11, LoveReading4Kids In yet another twist on 'finding the true meaning of Christmas', Baddiel takes an Arthur-look at the season and it's commercialisation and sets his sights on the Wall-E-like 'Buy N Large' that has taken over the planet - here calling it Winterzone. You might see a parallel with a not-too-far-away real-life corporation. Ahem. November 13-19 is Transgender Awareness Week. Trans EDU has produced a range of useful resources for schools.
This special edition marks ten years of the brilliantly funny children’s novel. The Parent Agency is an epic wish-fulfilment adventure for every child – and for the child in everyone. But coming across a suspiciously Santa-like delivery man, Etta and her friends realise that they might have discovered a secret that WinterZone would rather they - and everyone else - didn't know. But maybe the world really needs to know the truth about Christmas. And deserves more than the one WinterZone have made them expect.

Baddiel became a cabaret stand-up comedian after leaving university and also wrote sketches and jokes for various radio series. His first television appearance came in a bit-part on one episode of the showbiz satire, Filthy, Rich and Catflap. In 1988, he was introduced to Rob Newman, a comic impressionist, and the two became a writing partnership. They were subsequently paired up with the partnership of Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis for a new topical comedy show for BBC Radio 1 called The Mary Whitehouse Experience, and its success led to a transfer to television, shooting Baddiel to fame.

Can Etta work out what happened to the real Santa in time to save Christmas? And will her dad finally stand up to the evil boss of Winterzone (TM)? A good point about consumerism is made through another Baddiel madcap adventure, with likeable characters and a very easy-to-imagine Christmas scenario. After studying at Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School in Elstree, he read English at King's College, Cambridge and graduated with a double first. He began studies for a PhD in English at University College London, but did not complete it.
The cover to illustrations inside are to the point and match with the story perfectly to give the readers a in to the persepective from which the story is told.
