HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! It's the Year of the Snake!! Apparently the snake is "associated with wisdom, beauty and intelligence but also pride and anger" (BBC News). Sounds like me! LOL! Oh you all so know I am only pulling your leg!
Now bloggie friends? How are y'all at reading bedtime stories to the kiddies!?
I remember reading Thomas the Tank Engine to my nephews when they were little. Their verdict? "Don't give up the day job, auntie Old Kitty".
Anyways! Here is a competition for you storytellers out there in honour of the upcoming World Book Day! All you have to do is upload a video of yourself bringing a children's story to life! Easy! But hurry! Entries end at midnight today, 11 Feb.
Charlie says: I ignore the show off behind me.
And of course tomorrow is Pancake Day too! So get flipping! :-)
And now as I prepare to wade through my expected deluge of Valentine's cards (ahem!) I shall love you and leave you and wish you all a great week! :-)
But before we go off into the sunset - here is a sweet song to all little creatures looking for a forever home!
The rest of the world will have to wait until the 23rd of April!
The aim of having a World Book Day is simply
"...to encourage children to explore the pleasures of books and reading by providing them with the opportunity to have a book of their own".
Read more about it here . There are lots of tokens and freebies and everything else a little kiddie would enjoy, e.g. books going for £1.00.... a site where kiddies may upload their stories! Wow!
So get them young, is wot I say! Start the little dears reading and writing stories and using their libraries and being generally creative and excited about the written word whether online, e-print, whatever!
