Picture Book Picnic Blog Tour

I love a good blog tour so I'm proud to be Tuesday's stop on the Picture Book Picnic Blog Tour, sharing my review of a lovely kids book and - even better (for you !) -  giving two copies away. In the meantime, here's some information about the Picture Book Picnic and the blogtour posts already online.

**********************************************

Welcome to the Picture Book Picnic with Walker Books, where even the weather can’t spoil the fun!


All the books included in the Picture Book Picnic are the perfect way to explore the wonders of reading with your little ones. Get together with friends or snuggle up with a loved one and share your favourite book, or discover something new from the many brilliant books on the Picture Book Picnic menu. We have 25 fantastic titles for you tuck into! You could be discovering the best party outfit with Polly in Polly’s Pink Pyjamas, meeting the wolf with Red Riding Hood in Yummy or even embarking on road trip in On the Road with Mavis and Marge – the adventures are endless!



Reading with your child is vital. Research shows that it's the single most important thing you can do to help your child's education. And books aren't just about reading the words on the page; they can also present new ideas and topics in an accessible and creative way. Most importantly reading is FUN and the Picture Book Picnic aims to highlight just how entertaining picking up a great book and reading together can be.



Take a look at http://www.picturebookpicnic.com/ for some fantastic web goodies, including activity sheets, tips on hosting your own Picture Book Picnic, advice on reading with your children and exclusive content from the very talented picture book writers and illustrators themselves.

The Picture Book Picnic Blogtour kicked off on Friday at the WAHM-Bam blog with a review of Hello Tilly. Tomorrow it will be stopping off at Playing By the Book before calling in here at the Madhouse on Tuesday. See you then, and make sure you check out all of the blogs involved for picture book reviews but also giveaways.

    I have always enjoyed reading to my children we look through books in the day and then have story books at bedtime. I think it is very important.
