Indie Book of the Month for May has been announced

Indie Book of the Month for May has been announced!

The Girl Who Couldn't Lie is a funny tale about a girl who found a special skill when she put on a bracelet she had been given - she can't tell a lie!
Whilst that sounds like a great gift for a child to have, she finds it rather stressful, because even little white lies are forbidden!

If you want to buy the book,. please follow this link to the website, where you'll also find some activities and teaching resources from the book.

New book delivery from @littletigerbooks!

Nicola Penfold's When The Wild Calls is the fabulous sequel to Where The World Turns Wild (but can be read on its own). An ecological adventure about reduscovering the Wild.
Next up is This Books Will Self Destruct by Ben Sanders. A fabulous graphic novel spy caper is a perfect bridge between picture books and emerging readers.

Eleanor has been sorting out her dressing-up cloth

Eleanor has been sorting out her dressing-up clothes this week. She's decided which ones to keep and which ones she's grown out of to donate.
It's sad when children grow out of their favourite outfits!

To reminisce and enjoy the idea of children dressing up, I present Hey Duggee's Dressing Up Badge. And because I would dress as a dinosaur if I were to choose today, I'm including 20 Dinosaurs At Bedtime.

At a school this afternoon and Eleanor decided to order the books in rainbow order :D

I think I might have confused you with the World B

I think I might have confused you with the World Book Day books!
You *can* use your token on the website to buy books - these will act as £1 off the price, just type in the barcode.
But you *cannot* buy the 2024 WBD books on the website.
That's because I'm still visiting schools so don't want to accidentally list them and then find I've run out.
(And the website adds postage for orders under £5!)
To order a 2024 World Book Day book, please email, text, phone or contact me through the page/instagram or fb group.
If you live in Sittingbourne or Sheppey, I will deliver free or you can collect from me.
Any further afield and I'll have to add postage.

I hope that clears it up and makes sense - any questions, please let me know!

This week is British Science Week!
We love science here at Nickel Books (in case you couldn't tell!)
Andrea now helps to run a Squirrels Scouts Section, and this week, they'll be looking at "light" and how it works.
To that end, she recommends the book "Learn Science with Mo - Light and Shadows"
It's aimed at younger scientists, with fun pictures and helpful information.

If you type in "science" into the search button on the website, you'll find loads more books on science!

I love this book - Squeeze in Squirrel! by Tony Ne

I love this book - Squeeze in Squirrel! by Tony Neal.
We used it for a Squirrels Scout session this week - it's all about capacity and how much you can actually fill something before it bursts!
We didn't burst anything at the session, but we did pack loads of soft toys into a box, and filled lots of containers with different things (like pasta, rice and sawdust)
The book itself has some ideas at the back for taking the theme of capacity further, and it's quite a good shout-along kind of story.
