Mr Magpie's Book Corner - Look for a Book

16/07/2026

I will be here on Saturday 🤩

Come say hi 👋

I will have a range of children's books for all ages. Aswell as some free activities for the kids to do 🙂

I would love to meet you and have a chat. Maybe even help you find your child's next favourite book 😍

The books hidden today were kindly sponsored by Sorted.iT and Secret Garden Holistic Therapies.

Thank you 😊 I spotted some happy children finding some books while I was in the park playing with my little ones 🤩📚

We had a lovely afternoon, hiding books, playing in the park and having a wee picnic under a lovely big shaded tree 🌳 🥪 but I'm glad to be home with the fan on now.

I hope you are all keeping safe in this weather 😎

I had a very special delivery today ✨️

Cheryl Adams children's author dropped off 2 copies of her new book The Compass and The Superpowers 🧭🌈

This book perfectly describes how your differences are your greatest superpowers 🦸‍♀️

On behalf of Cheryl, I will be hiding one book during my Look for a Book event during the summer holidays.

Will you be lucky enough to find it? 🤩

Good morning 🙂

Change of plan today.

I have decided not to hide books around Dean Park today. The weather has been miserable recently and I don't want books sitting out and no one going to find them.

I have hidden a few books in different locations the last few days, but I don't know if they are being found or not due to it being really rainy 🌧

I am busy behind the scenes getting lots of books bagged up ready for the next sunny day 😎

I apologise to anyone planning on looking for books around Dean Park today.

Dean Park is definitely on my list of places to hide books. So I will let you all know when I will be doing so 📚

I am currently out hiding books around Piersland Park.

Get the wellies on and splash in some muddy puddles while you look for a book 🌧

Then home for a bubble bath and hot chocolate, as you snuggle up together to read your new story 🥰

03/07/2026

I will be out hiding more books over the weekend

Plans are:

Saturday - Piersland Park, Kilmarnock 🛝⚽️

Sunday- Dean Park, Kilmarnock 🐑🐖

These books, along with the books hidden the last few days have been kindly sponsored by DM Fruit Co. and Sorted.iT 😃
