Booktime encourages children, parents and carers to read together for pleasure by giving a free book pack to reception pupils when they first start primary school.
In 2009 the title of the free book that each reception-aged pupil will receive as a gift in the autumn term is Mr Big by Ed Vere (Puffin).
