Book reviews by Lisa Greer
The Skeleton in the Cupboard: and other stories by Lilija Berzinska
The Skeleton in the Cupboard: and other stories create a pleasant and positive atmosphere where nature and creativity flourish. It is a beautifully written, dreamlike storybook that I would recommend for Key Stage 2 children.
Nina Peanut: Mega Mystery Solver by Sarah Bowie
Nina Peanut: Mega Mystery Solver is an entertaining and enjoyable read for older children. It’s perfect for fans of Wimpy Kid and Lottie Brooks. This comic-style book is hilarious, with bright, humorous illustrations that make it hugely engaging.
Gina Kaminiski Rescues the Giant by Craig Barr-Green and Francis Martin
Gina Kaminiski Rescues the Giant is a smart delight and the illustrations are beautiful and really bring everything together. As a teacher and educator understanding the importance of visual emotions, it is a book I would read to children and recommend to teachers.
Love Is All We Need by Krina Patel-Sage
Love Is All We Need sends a powerful and important message to the young reader. It’s a wonderfully vibrant and happy book that I recommend for children from nursery age and upwards.
Sherlock Bones and the Mischief in Manhattan by Tim Collins
Sherlock Bones and the Mischief in Manhattan would be really fun to use in schools, encouraging students to solve the clues and building up a culture of collaboration as a class, working as a team to resolve the riddles.
