A World Book Day Discovery

‘Arlo, the lion who couldn’t sleep’ by Catherine Rayner

One of my reception class brought this book into school to share with us all on World Book Day.

It’s a beautiful story; perfect for bedtime.

  1. Hello Julia Arlo is a beautiful book with lovely illustrations and a great text. Thank you for sending me details (I bought it for a friend). How are you and Shared Reading? I hope all is going well.

    Four reader leaders met recently (two you trained with: Diane and Lorna) in Hereford and we’re meeting again in June. I’ll let you know the date and time once confirmed and hope you might be able to join us. Best, Helen

    1. Lovely to hear from you, Helen. So glad you liked the book!

      I’m still running the Shared Reading after-school club for Y5/6. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be able to join you all in June, as I am teaching a reception class full-time at the moment.

      Please say hello to everyone from me. Xx
