We’ve got a jam-packed episode for you, so let’s get started!
Today, we at Book Worms are celebrating National Read A Book Day! Every year on the 6th September people across the nation are encouraged to read a book! That’s no challenge for Bex, but it’s great to get everyone involved. Let us know what books you’ve been reading on the Fun Kids website!
We’ve got a mix of genres on the show today. First, Robin Scott-Elliott reveals why he wanted to write a story about a young boy in 1948 Berlin who wants to be a pliot. There’s triumph, survival, and a lot of chocolate in his new book Sweet Skies!
It’s not often you see two authors for one book, and even rarer for them to be writing two separate stories! Bex caught up with author duo Sam Copeland and Jenny Pearson to chat all about their new book, Attack of the Robot Librarians! What was it like for Jenny to write one protagonist and Sam to write the other? It turns out, they hated it! Or are they just kidding? Listen to find out!
Hello you book lovers! This week, Bex is chatting to author Frank Cottrell-Boyce about his new book, The Wonder Brothers. What happens when a magician makes a tower disappear? Well, three cousins have to use their own magic to try and bring it back! Frank tells us his favourite magicians, what he loves about magic, and what he loves about the locations in the book. From Blackpool to Vegas, the kids have been through a lot to get the tower back!
In this week’s Book Worms, Bex has been chatting to author Joe Haddow and illustrator Ellie Hawes all about their new book Art Is Everywhere! Art isn’t just paintbrushes and picture frames, and Joe is determined to showcase every type in this book. Plus, he chats to Bex about his experiences as a drummer!
What a line-up we have in store for you this week on Book Worms! There’s authors aplenty, and Bex crowns her Fun Kids Book of the Month for June…
In this week’s animal training episode of Book Worms, Bex is chatting to author Cressida Cowell on How To Train Your Hogfly! Cressida has been hard at work training all of these fantastic creatures, and after the 20th anniversary of How To Train Your Dragon, she’s here with a brand new story set in the universe of dragon training.
