Have you read any of Melanie Watt's picture books? If you haven't, you really should! Watt has written the wildly popular "Scaredy Squirrel" books - Scaredy Squirrel won the Silver Birch reader's choice award in 2007- and her latest one, Chester, is hilarious too. Chesteris a self-obsessed fat orange cat who wants tobe the hero of Melanie Watt's next book - and he is very pushy about it. You can read my review of Chester on my main website http://bookmarks4kids.bravehost.com under the section Great Picture Books.

Let me know what you think. Do you have a favourite picture book?

Hi, everyone!

So here is my blog. I've never done this before and am figuring it all out so please bear with me!

If you want to participate, please do so! I will have to approve every message before it gets posted since I want to make sure that it is appropriate for everyone so if it doesn't show up right away, it's just because I haven't had time to read it yet.

What are you reading right now? Do you have any questions or suggestions?
