Bookstart 20 – The bookandbed pledge made good

It’s the 20th year of BookTrust and so, for Bookstart 20, I’ve pledged to share 20 books.

I’ve decided to list Monkeyface’s favourite, and so some of the books I love to read withher are missing from the list… Perhaps I’ll do that another day. It was doubly hard limiting it to just 20 (imagine compiling a list and not being able to include Julia Donaldson!)

It also meant that we reviewed all of the lovely books languishing on our groaning shelves. Here goes:
