Happy Book Week Turtle readers! This year's theme for the National Children's Book Week is 'Symphony of Stories'.
We had a long think and realised that a symphony is made of many different instruments coming together and creating something magical. So in light of this we thought what better way to show off our symphony than to get our volunteers/musicians 😉 to put together the ultimate reading list suggestions made from their favourite books!
Come down and check them out in person Friday, Sunday and Monday.
Happy reading 🐢📚
