BBC NEWS:Education:Kelly to promise £27m free books

For children aged one to two, there will be a Bookstart Plus pack, with a satchel-style bag, two books, a scribble pad and crayons, a booklist for toddlers and information about local libraries.

I am obviously living on a different timeline - could have sworn we picked up one of these last week….

    Jax, I ws wondering about that when you posted about it - I’m sure we don’t get that here (and my friendly librarian who came to our group is the Bookstart Coordinator at our library, I thought he would have told me - hmm, I will ask next time we go in!) - perhaps you are a pilot scheme? They have been doing the baby one for ages though, so perhaps they are trying to make it sound better than it is … ;-)

    Oh yeah look, on the Bookstart site they are still only saying you can get the baby bag - http://www.bookstart.co.uk/parents/index.html

    Got your batteries and a charger btw :)

    Although their latest Book of the Month was from January, so they may not be up-to-date with their plans, rofl!

    I think when I looked at the site I was a bit surprised I couldn’t find a link to the bag we’d got, perhaps we are a pilot scheme at that. Bit surprised if we are, as we’re not a Surestart area and they usually get all the goodies.

    Ooh, good on the batteries and charger - that’s great!
