Kids' stuff

It's National Children's Book Week this week (October 3-7) - parents, teachers and of course children themselves can find out more about the annual event, sponsored by Booktrust, on its website. There's plenty of information on how best to celebrate the week, as well as a diary showing when you can catch the Children's Bookshow (a national tour of children's authors), which begins today. It's also worth checking your local library or arts centre to find out if any events are being planned; in the meantime, if you're in need of inspiration, take a look at our children's library of classics and new releases.
