Luna şi Ursul sunt cei mai buni prieteni. Mereu nedespărţiţi. Atunci când o floare frumoasă răsare din zăpadă, Luna este de-a dreptul fericită! Dar, în scurtă vreme, floarea se ofileşte şi, odată cu ultima petală dispare şi zâmbetul fetiţei. Va reuşi oare Ursul să-i readucă zâmbetul pe buze? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cufarulcupovesti/message

In this episode I interview illustrator and author Steven Lenton about his involvement with World Book Day 2019, and his MANY upcoming new releases including an out-of-this-world ‘Shifty McGifty And Slippery Sam’ chapter book with Tracey Corderoy and the third instalment of the hilarious ‘Nothing to See Here Hotel’ written by Steven Butler and titled ‘Sea-ing is Believing.’ There are also more fabulous picture books in the pipeline - he’s a busy man! I also give you a rundown of this year’s exclusive £1 World Book Day titles and how you can get them in Braille or as audiobooks for visually impaired children.
In this Christmas episode, I interview author Tracey Corderoy about her new winter titles: ‘The Boy and the Bear,’ ‘The Christmas Extravaganza Hotel,’ and ‘It’s Christmas!’ I recommend some of my top Christmas book gifts for primary school-aged children (think Alex .T. Smith and Abi Elphinstone for the big ones, Madeleine Cook and Nicholas Allen for the littlies), and help out a listener looking for dinosaur book recommendations for a three-year-old - you can’t go wrong with Sarah McIntyre, Penny Dale and Emma Yarlett! #Christmas #gifts #dinosaurs

We also hear from Library Manager, Zak Collingwood about the impact being involved with the Lollies has had on his school. Finally, I give out some recommendations for a reader looking for alternatives to Wimpy Kid and some new graphic novel suggestions. Hear about the special guest (Tracey Corderoy) whom I’ll be interviewing on my upcoming Christmas podcast..... #Kidlit #LibraryGirlAndBookBoy #FunnyBookChat #Books
