  • 300 picture books week 9

    lots of bedtime reading this week, mainly of library books. The patternis often that one new one is read and then a couple from previous evenings are repeated. So this week included: Zoo – Anthony Browne. I’m sure this is supposed to be thought provoking. I found it unpleasantly disturbing. One witch. Long live Princess…

  • 300 Picture books week 8

    Another library trip, and they had picture books for sale at 30p each. It would have been rude not to, especially as they had Darkness for sale. We read 4 books there, and brought 14 home. Also read. One witch Igor, the bird who couldn’t sing. Denver Stone age boy. It was you, Blue kangaroo.…

  • 300 Picture books week 7

    I didn’t do a draft post, so these are the titles I can remember off the top of my head tonight. I know it’s not a complete list, we’ve read at least two books every day to the best of my memory, so I was expecting around 14 titles. I don’t want to risk disturbing…

    300 picture books week 6

    A good reading week because we popped in another library visit and read 6 books while we were there. Not that I can remember what else we’ve read. Oh hang on. Bob and the Moon tree mystery, as reviewed on Shingle Street. Two more tree Fu Tom books. Jonathan Livingston Seagull. This last one is…

  • 300 picture books week 5

    It is definitely the case that I only keep up with these posts if I run them in draft through the week. It was feeling like a rather poor reading week until we had a bit of a binge at the library today. (And yes I know today isn’t really part of the week, but…

    300 Picture books week 4.

    Grief, the year is racing by isn’t it? I can’t believe we’re on week 4 already. This is the first week we’ve missed a day reading – we were out pretty much all day on Saturday, so we didn’t read anything at all, old or new. It felt rather odd. I’m also still behind with…

    300 Picture books week 3

    I did really well the last two weeks and started a draft post early and kept it updated daily. I was also reviewing things daily on shingle Street. This week I’ve done neither of those things. And we went to the library and while we were there we read about 10 board books. As well…

  • 300 Picture books week 2.

    Continuing our attempt to meet the 300 Picture book challenge. We’re on track so far. Our first Judith Kerr of the year. It’s not a Mog book (boo) but it does have a very Mog looking cat in it. When Willy went to the wedding. It’s not his fault, honestly. Two ladybird books today, first…

  • A short reading week for picture books.

    When the challenge is to read 300 books in a year, that’s not quite 1 a day. I figured that getting a book a day in to begin with would be a good start though. So far I’ve read the Mozart Question aloud to the small children. I think I got more out of it…

  • Reading challenges – #read52 and #300PBs

    This year, like last year, I’m setting myself the challenge of reading 52 books. This year I’m going to actually try to keep track 😉 I don’t really use Goodreads any more, as now they are owned by Amazon I slightly object to basically doing their advertising for them. Instead, my 52 books will be…
