"I'm making a pledge. From January, we will review a new children's book every week." Absolutely blown away to see Ben Lawrence in The Telegraph committing to #CoverKidsBooks every week, citing Frank Cottrell-Boyce's BBC Radio 4 Today plea for coverage. THANK YOU!!! telegraph.co.uk/books/children…

The Kickstarter for this fully-illustrated, full-colour, fully daft tour through 1970s album covers that never existed is 75% funded with hours to go! If it’s your cup of nonsense (or a friend’s) fund it before it slips away into its own parallel universe: kickstarter.com/projects/theco…

Nearly there! But nearly not there at all! If you like comics, prog rock, alternate history, Vic & Bob, Bonzo Dog, and/or laughing, check out my friend Chris’s kickstarter before it’s too late.

It’s funded! 🎉 I can now retreat back into lurk mode…

I've spent the evening doing TV and radio interviews to support BookTrust 's shared reading initiative only to find myself confronted by government statements narrowing the discussion down to 'literacy'. No, govt, we're talking about the 360 degree benefits of reading!

Good news at last. For years this seemed overdue, but now it feels timely.
