World Book Day is taking place on Thursday 2 March, and what better way to celebrate than to treat your children to some brilliant new books? Whether you're looking for a new story to read them at bedtime or your kids are already reading on their own, there are some brilliant new releases which are sure to brighten up your little ones' day!
Younger kids can go on an exciting adventure with Michelle Robinson and David Roberts' A Beginner's Guide to Bearspotting, while older kids can channel their inner detective thanks to the Young Sherlock series. Meanwhile, author Jodie Parachini gets interrupted by party-loving animals in This is a Serious Book, while a teddy bear takes on a new job as a secret agent and takes on a thrilling mission in Mark Powers' Spy Toys.
As an extra treat, World Book Day has once again partnered with schools across the nation to give out over 15 million book tokens worth £1 each. Kids can spend them on the specially-written £1 books at the literary event, or get £1 off a full-priced book: the perfect excuse for budding bookworms to treat themselves!
