Awards shortlist for Wacky Words

It was very exciting to receive this Tweet yesterday, along with an email telling me that The Silly Book of Weird and Wacky Words has been shortlisted for the North Somerset Teachers’ Book Awards, in the Information Book category. This is particularly pleasing because this is one of only a tiny number of regional book prizes which includes a non-fic category.nstba16It’s also the first time that I’ve had a book announcement from a dog wearing a hat…

The excellent North Somerset Teachers’ Book Award has a number of categories, with books all chosen by current teachers – it’s well worth a look for getting reading recommendations for different children’s age groups. They’ve included a lovely review of my book here.
