This week marks the annual Children's Book Week which has been running for the past 80 years. It's a time when we really need to encourage children to 'read for pleasure'. During Children’s Book Week, schools, libraries and other venues all over the UK hold events and activities aimed at encouraging children to enjoy reading for pleasure, explore libraries and bookshops, and even start writing themselves.
What was your favourite book as a child? I am in agreement with Zoe - Enid Blyton's Magic Faraway Tree!
