"Never do anything by halves if you want to get away with it. Be outrageous. Go the whole hog." -- Matilda by Roald Dahl.

National Simultaneous Storytime 2025

Next Wednesday 21st May is National Simultaneous Storytime. This year's book is "The truck cat" written by Deborah Frenkel and illustrated by Danny Snell.  

Along with his human, Yacoub, Tinka travels roads wide and narrow, near and distant. But no matter how much they travel, home feels very far away for both of them. Yacoub drives his truck to make a living, learning the landscape of a new country along the way, and longing for connection. When Tinka and Yacoub are unexpectedly separated, they are determined to find their way back to each other and, in doing so, might find more than they expected.
