THE TEACHER'S LIBRARY
As a primary school teacher in Australia, I know how difficult it can be to find books for children that are engaging, age-appropriate, and at the correct ability level. I decided to start sharing the children's books I read to hopefully help you make great choices for your own kids, your students, or even yourself!

As a new release, I hadn't heard anything about this. I had a credit ready to spend on Audible, and was looking for something new in children's books - and this ended up in my library. I assumed (from the title and a quick skim of the blurb) that this kid would end up...

This novel should have been an automatic 5 star read for me - there were so many elements that sounded incredible to me! Unfortunately, it was not to be...

I think this is a really important book that kids should be exposed to. Is it perfect? Absolutely not! But the great things about it outweigh the less great things.

I reviewed the first book in this series a few months ago (linked below) - and immediately began the rest of the series!
The final book is coming out early 2019, but I've read everything out so far (I'll update this post once book 6 is out!)
I'll try and keep the spoiler...

I found this book while wandering through Dymocks one day. It wasn't expensive or long, and had won a couple of awards, so I popped in it my bag. I hadn't heard anything about it, but picked it up one evening with the thought to read just a few chapters.

Once again, this was a book I'd heard great things about. I'd seen that there were so many books in the series, and it seemed to be quite popular. I hesitated because I'm always wary of 'celebrity' authors, and if I'm being petty, I didn't like Colfer's character in Gl...

'The book is always better than the movie'
But is that always true?
The Lorax
This is a great text to do a text-to-text comparison with. The book, by Dr Seuss, is short enough to read in one session, and the movie can be covered in a couple of hours. They both cover impo...

There's a short (but rather boring) story that goes along with this one. I'd ordered book 6 in the series by accident through a Scholastic Book Club, and debated whether or not it was worth it to buy the first. I found it for less than $10 so decided to give it a go. I...

I feel like I can't walk into a library or look at a bookshelf without seeing Pig the Pug right in my face! I definitely think its a cute picture book, but I was more interested in reading Aaron Blabey's other series - The Bad Guys.
I picked up the box set of...
