At the moment the Booktime team are busily preparing for the delivery across England and Scotland of every child's free gift book pack.

The activities and resources have all been written and produced, the gift books are being printed, and we're just in the process of working out how it all gets sent out, from country to country, county to county, and then local authority to local authority. It's no small feat, we can assure you!

It takes a lot of hard work. But when you hear people describe our work as a 'fantastic project' you know it's all worthwhile. Last year was our most successful year yet. A whole 90% of teachers who had read the book with their class said their pupils had 'really enjoyed it'. And lots of children seemed to love their packs, especially if the gallery is anything to go by.

It's not like us to rest on our laurels, so we plan to make 2009 an even more successful year. However, we won't know how inspired to read your children and/or pupils are unless you tell us - so as usual we'd love to know what you think. Anything you tell us can only help us to improve.

You can find out more about Booktime's plans for this year here. And if there's anything you'd like to know or have from us, just get in touch.
