My children's books this week for The South Wales Evening Post include one of our greatest Olympians encouraging us to read and run, Peter Rabbit doodling in Beatrix Potters 150th Anniversary, an award winning story dealing with the sensitive issue of depression and a dystopian adventure influenced by Greek Myth! All In the Weekend Magazine Section. Enjoy!
BOOK OF THE WEEK
READYSTEADY MO! BY MO FARAH & KES GRAY
PICTURE BOOK 4+
A fun book to get running and reading with Mo in the lead up to the Olympics. Join the double Olympic Gold Medallist as he runs to get dressed, with the family and even into space! The repetitive text and rhythm combined with the energetic and bold illustrations will kick start a new generation of runners and encourage early readers. Definitely too vigorous for bedtime but great for encouraging kids to get up and go!
