I’ve been talking a lot recently about modern versions of classics but I hadn’t thought about nursery rhymes… until this brilliant picture book - This is the Ship that Jack Built by Peter Millett & Sam Caldwell - sailed onto my radar!

It’s bewitching season! I grew up loving the Worst Witch (did you?) but now there’s a whole coven of witch stories to choose from and I’ve picked some favourite series to bewitch you with!

Were you a Brownie or Scout? I loved being a Rainbow, Brownie and Girl Guide and it seems BookBairn does too! And The Wee Page Turner loves Beavers. I, however, do not love sewing on all the badges (I've cheated now and bought fabric glue) even though collecting badges was one of my favourite parts.

What I’m not sure I would have enjoyed was being a Ghost Scout - I’m far too much of a wimp to befriend a werewolf (albeit a rather tame one), a fancy schmancy zombie, or a baseball-cap-wearing ghost.

In one of the most beautiful picture books of the year, nature illustrator extraordinaire Yuval Zommer, has personified The Wild - making it into a living breathing creature. A wonder to behold. A visually stunning book, with a creature you will fall in love with, this is a poignant reminder that our connection to nature is vital.
