I was thrilled to see Beth O’Brien’s fabulous Wolf Siren win at the Carnegies this week. It so cleverly leans into and extends the story of Little Red Riding Hood. What other great children’s books play with well known Folk and Fairtytales, Myths and Legends? #KidsBooksFriday #KidLitUK #KidLit

Lots of great choices already so have had to think hard. Here's my mixed-age selection. #KidsBooksFriday For younger readers - Clever Polly and the Stupid Wolf (a classic that kids still love as a read aloud). Middle grade - Land of Stories / Percy Jackson (crowd-pleasers!) Teens - Song of Achilles

Anniversary edition of The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer showing lots of fairy-tale characters against a dramatic sky

I read some of the Clever Polly stories to my Y3s during the first lockdown, they went down an absolute storm! A collection from my own childhood bookshelf as well, so extra-special. ❤️
