@smithsmm @OvendenLaura @MrEagletonIan @_Reading_Rocks_ @redgierob @Mat_at_Brookes @LetterboxLib @charliehacking Also potentially Black Dog by Levi Penfold. Obvious connections to depression, however could be used as an analogy for overcoming fears.
@JacobMuskett @toddstanton1 @MrBoothY6 @smithsmm @redgierob Just found a new series by Amulet’s creators, titled ‘Explorer’. Could be worth a look (and possible bank account glance). Finally, a classic, Tom’s Midnight Garden. Beautiful illustrations by Edith.
@JacobMuskett @toddstanton1 @MrBoothY6 @smithsmm @redgierob Amulet would be perfect for Y3/4.
Great series of books. Blends fantasy, steampunk, robots and strong female protagonist amongst others. Pretty decent write up here with some tips for use: https://t.co/juKJKn0mKy
@smithsmm @FlyingEyeBooks Already had a good coffee drink and browse through this at @alligatorsmouth. Great for study of classical civilisation, plus Celts, Romans, Greeks, Samurai & others. I think a catalogue might be in order.
My current TRP is now going under the bed tho. So no books until I finish!
@uberlily @MrEFinch Interesting discussion on colour being used. Was watching Spike Jonze’s ‘Her’ which is a set in the near future. The ‘making of’ doc interestingly referenced colour. Blue is very dominant in dystopian genres (a la Bladerunner). Like Jonze, Reeve paints using a different palette.

@smithsmm @Mat_at_Brookes @PaulWat5 @cazzash @MrEFinch @redgierob @TeresaCremin @marygtroche @jonnybid @MrBoothY6 So many from 2017 I still haven’t caught up on. Sense another school book order coming on...
What was the first book you remember where it placed you in someone else’s shoes?
Some inspired choices by @UKLaureate, @Benji_Davies and @CRESS_research from yesterday’s #EmpathyDay. @MirandaMcK @EmpathyLabUK
@_borntosparkle @TeresaCremin @jonnybid @Jo_Bowers Two suggestions from me. Love Seuss’ ‘Oh the Places You’ll Go’. Great for a longer reading. Alternatively, good old Winnie the Pooh and Piglet from the pen of A.A. Milne is well suited too.
@athole @redgierob @smithsmm @Mat_at_Brookes @LynneRickards @thatboycanteach @nicolakidsbooks @nikkigamble @emmabramley75 Great book dealing the loss of the main character. Lovely message. I’ve used ‘The Pond’ with year 3 successfully.
