Read with Julia

2) When Julia met Anna and Phoebe…

Book 2 (Anna’s choice): ‘Rosie Revere, Engineer’ by Andrea Beaty and David Roberts

1) When Julia met Anna and Phoebe…

While spending a week in Liverpool with my mum, I had the pleasure of meeting Anna (7) and Phoebe (3) for the first time. They came over one afternoon and we shared some stories together…

Book 1: ‘Bet you can’t’ by Penny Lane (Do you like the choice of author for a Liverpool read?)

‘Shhh!’ by Sally Grindley and Peter Utton

I’ve had lots of fun sharing this book with children over the years. It’s probably not the best choice for a bedtime story, as it gets quite exciting at the end…

‘CATCH UP OR KEEP UP’

An advertisement for tutoring caught my eye yesterday. I walked past, but the choice of words stoked something in me that made me turn back and take a photo.

‘Jim and the Beanstalk’ by Raymond Briggs

I’m posting today’s read aloud as a tribute to Raymond Briggs, who died on Wednesday (10/08/22) at the age of 88.

‘The Bear in the Cave’ by Michael Rosen and Adrian Reynolds

In my humble opinion, this book was made for reading aloud and sharing together.

‘The Very Busy Spider’ by Eric Carle

Let’s share a story and a walk through the Herefordshire countryside.

This book is special to me as my childhood memories are held within its pages. The text and illustrations open up many avenues for discussion. I hope you enjoy exploring some of these with your children.
