Guest Reviewing on Making Them Readers- Frankie vs the Rowdy Romans-Frank Lampard

The latest instalment of my sporadic guesting on the Making Them Readers blog is now live.  This time I am reviewing the second of Frank Lampard's Frankie's Magic Football books, Frankie vs the Rowdy Romans. 

You can read what I thought about it here.

Guest reviewing on Making Them Readers- Cassie and the Woolf- Olivia Snowe

I absolutely love the Making Them Readers blog.  It is such a fantastic resource, chock-full of reviews, news, ideas, nostalgia, and pretty much anything and everything else you could think of regarding children's literature.  Focussing heavily on the importance of reading for pleasure as well as education, Making Them Readers is one of my favourite blogs.

I think regular visitors to Books with Bunny know I'm a huge fan of picturebooks in particular, but I enjoy exploring all children's books.  From fiction to non-fiction, board books to YA, I am not fussy.

I was so very chuffed when I was approached to be a regular guest reviewer for Making Them Readers too.  Promoting reading is why I started book blogging in the first place, and I truly believe there are books out there to suit everyone.  Helping parents, teachers, childminders, librarians, booksellers and most importantly children to discover what is out there is an absolute pleasure, and I know how much delight I get from the recommendations of others.  To be able to give some of that pleasure back through Books with Bunny and Making Them Readers has me glowing with pride.  If I can encourage one person to pick up a book they might not have tried, find a new favourite author or rekindle their love of books (no kindle pun intended), then I consider it all worthwhile and a huge success.

My review of Cassie and the Woolf by Olivia Snowe (a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood aimed at a junior market) is on the Making Them Readers blog today, and you would make my day by going and reading it here. 

Guesting on Making Them Readers blog

I have known Katy from the Making Them Readers blog for a few years now. She shares my passion for reading and is particularly vocal on the importance of raising children to love books. 

I have written a short piece for Making Them Readers about how books have been an ongoing part of my life which has been published today- you can read it here.  It talks a lot about children's books, which have always been a key part of my reading material through work and study as well as for enjoyment.  It is a nostalgic piece, but I'm not going to apologise for that.  Books should evoke memories and stir emotions!

You can find out more about Making Them Readers on their facebook page which posts lots of current news articles relating to children's books.
