Thanks Kitty! Have you read Wonder? Another book I consider a "must" for primary teachers, especially those with an interest in inclusion.

Here are my three reviews for this term:

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/..., http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/... and http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/... are the links to your reviews, rather than the books. Your colleagues won't be able to find your reviews if you only post links to the books, Laura.

Thanks Cuong. A great variety of books there!

Thanks Pam! Three great reviews. The Julia Donaldson is new to me!

Thanks Chris! A great Christmassy read.

Thanks Andrew! Three reviews of some great books. Try You're A Bad Man, Mr. Gum! if you like The Twits!

2 more to follow........."

Here's the link to your reference, Andrew http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Thanks Louise! Two great reviews. I'd recommend Sarwat Chadda's The Savage Fortress (Ash Mistry and the Savage Fortress in the UK) or Diana Wynne Jones' Chrestomanci and Howl's Moving Castle books for Harry Potter fans.

Thanks Cuong! Some great reviews of fantastic books.

Thanks Gemma! If you like Harry Potter, I'd recommend Ash Mistry and the Savage Palace (Fortress in the UK) or Diana Wynne Jones' Chrestomanci series.

Thanks Steven! That sounds wonderful. I'm a huge fan of Jane Ray's illustrations.

Thanks Ece! Please note that you've posted your review of Ben the Bully as a comment, so it won't show up in your final list. Please could you cut and paste it as a review? I like The Bear Under the Stairs, but I would probably say it is suited more for KS1 than EYFS.

Thanks, Uttam! Four great reviews. I look forward to reading more next term, perhaps of books that are new to you.

Thanks, Kimberley! That sounds like a fantastic book to read to discuss hibernation and the changing seasons.

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/... is the link to the review, Jacqueline. Two fantastic books, thank you!

Thanks, Stuart and Katie! Great reviews of some fantastic books. Katie, I think Kevin Crossley Holland is an absolutely amazing author. He's been nominated to be the next children's laureate. Have you read The Seeing Stone (Arthur and the Seeing Stone in the UK)? Stuart, an adaptation of Mr Stink is on BBC2 on Sunday!

Thanks, Alma! I recommend Wonder as you enjoyed Blabbermouth. Another amazing story about the family of a child with a disability.

Thanks Tanvir! Some great books. I look forward to reading your reviews of novels for KS2 and higher ability KS1 readers.

Thanks Alma! That looks like a great read.
