It's World Book Day! I remember getting a book token to mark the very first one, many years ago - you can read more about that in my WBD post from last year. Marianna is still too young for the all singing, all dancing event it has become, but we did get to commemorate WBD 2016 in a very special way...

Adjustamatic Adjustable Beds contacted me and asked if I'd like to be involved with a bloggers' ebook project. Each contributor wrote a little bit about their child's favourite #BedtimeStories, which was then compiled into a gorgeous little ebook with the most adorable illustrations.
Reading with your children is so important - not just for the educational benefits, but for the quality time you get to spend together and the memories you create. Our choice was Five Little Kittens by A.J. Macgregor and W. Perring, part of the Ladybird 401 (animal rhymes) series. How cute is our page:
Don't forget to share your own favourite #BedtimeStories with Adjustamatic on Facebook or @AdjustableBedUK on Twitter!

DeleteI simply love world book day, good choice for a bedtime story x
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteI haven't heard of 5 Little Kittens but it looks like a gorgeous book with super illustrations.
ReplyDeleteIt is really sweet - a bit dated, maybe, but still sweet! x
DeleteI used to love World Book Day in school! I remember dressing up as my favourite characters and getting so excited for my book token! It's crazy to think how much technology has changed because eBooks weren't a thing back then. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI know, to think I can fit a whole library on my Kindle! x
DeleteWorld book day is so much fun and a fantastic way to get kids into reading - we are enjoying fantastic Mr Fox in our household at the moment
ReplyDeleteLaura x
I love that book! x
DeleteIt is so important to teach our children to love books and discover new worlds through the adventures of story books, lovely post #fabFridayPost
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, thank you!
DeleteI'm so happy my daughters both enjoy reading. My son is 4 so he can't read yet and he's not overly interested in books at the moment. Each child is different, so I'll imagine he'll get more into it. #FabFridayPost
ReplyDeleteMy daughter's favourite thing about it is turning the pages at the moment, she doesn't much like waiting for me to do the actual reading!
DeleteWe still get the vouchers!! That totally reminded me I didnt go get a book this week! :) #pocolo
ReplyDeleteOoh, I wasn't sure if you did or not! :)

ReplyDeleteIt is a great day!
DeleteWe love a good story. We are now enjoying chapter books which is a breath of fresh air as I now only have to read them once :) thanks for linking up with #FabFridayPost
ReplyDeleteI bet - it'll be nice to move on from the same thing over and over (and over).
DeleteThat's a fab way of celebrating this day - I do like to see the kids dressed up on my FB page, but can't remember even celebrating it let alone dressing up as a kid myself! And that page is just gorgeous - thanks for linking up to #pocolo x
ReplyDeleteI didn't know it had become such a big deal until I had Marianna - I was out of the loop! x
