Site of the week: World Book Day

It's World Book Day tomorrow but, for some reason, there doesn't seem to be as much of a buzz about it on the web as usual. However, first port of call should be the official site with its appealingly colourful design and wealth of resources for pre-school and school age kids, a list of events going on around the country plus details of this year's £1 book token books, and Spread the Word postcards. The site is livened up with pictures from ace illustrator Nick Sharratt, and Scholastic also draws on his talents with the downloadable reward certificates it is offering as part of its WBD celebrations. Elsewhere, the British Council has something for adult readers with its Encompass scheme and offer of online chats between British reading groups and reading groups around the world, including India, Malaysia, Namibia, Russia and Nigeria. They also have a list of "easy reads". Anything else going on out there that I've missed? Let me know.
