5x Mog Picture Books Giveaway
February is the month of love and Judith Kerr’s stories of ’Mog’ the naughty but very lovable cat will always hold a special place in my heart. I have many happy memories of reading about ’Mog’ with my children and now I am sharing the books with my grandchildren. So, I’m excited to announce that February will be my 5x Mog Picture Books Giveaway.
Up for grabs this month are five books in the ’Mog’ series.
Titles included are:
-
Mog and Bunny
Bunny is Mog’s best thing. But one day Mrs Thomas says she is going to throw Bunny in the dustbin…
Awww.
-
Mog and the Baby
Mog’s peaceful day is shattered when a baby comes to visit. All Mog wants to do and sleep and play but there is no chance of that with a little baby around!”Mog loves babies,” says Mrs Thomas but suddenly Mog isn’t quite so sure…
This was my children’s all time favourite bedtime story. You have to know how Mog saves the baby.
-
Mog’s Bad Thing
When Mog’s garden disappears under an enormous white flappy thing, Mog is very unhappy and does A Bad Thing. But inside the white flappy thing a Cat Show is taking place, the perfect setting for Mog to make her family very proud indeed.
All kids love it when ‘bad things’ are done lol!
-
Mog and the Granny
When the Thomas family go on holiday, Mog stays with Granny. It seems safe enough…until she meets Tibbles.
Oh dear. More trouble for Mog.
-
Mog’s ABC
On the day of Debbie’s birthday party, Mog sets off on an adventure through the alphabet. Along the way she meets the dragons in the dark and the jaguar with a jug of jelly. M is for Mog, but to her surprise, it is also for the mad mouse monster of her dream.
An ABC book with a difference 🙂
So, there you have it. Five fantastic books that should be on every child’s bookshelf.
I’ll be drawing the winner the 2nd of March.
Enter below.
Good luck!

Stay warm and happy reading.

Winnie the Pooh day
Did you know that 18th of January is the official Winnie the Pooh Day?
A.A. Milne, the author of this classic story, was born on this day back in 1882. It’s hard to imagine that this well-loved little bear was first published on 14 October 1926. The story started around the author’s son’s collection of stuffed toys. And yes, his son was called Christopher Robin in real life.
Did you catch last year’s film Goodbye Christopher Robin? It’s a dramatization of how the characters came to be created and well worth a watch.
Idea’s to celebrate Winnie the Pooh Day
Read a book.
Yeah, that one’s obvious but Pooh always has some words of wisdom even though he professes to be a ‘bear of very little brain.’
Watch a film.
There have been loads of animations of Winnie the Pooh stories. Here’s the trailer for the 2010 film.
Cuddle your Teddy
Go on, everyone had at least one cuddly Pooh bear, didn’t they?

A Mummy Trick: my Nativity story video for you
Back in 2013, I wrote a script to enter into The Nativity Factor, a competition run by ITN on British TV.
Writing a short film was a lot of fun and a great exercise in constructing a story through dialogue alone.
“A Mummy Trick” came fourth overall in the competition – which was great. But I was super pleased with being awarded the title of Most Heartwarming Story.
All say awwww!
Check it out below. (PS this was my little grandson’s acting debut.)
Wishing all my readers a Happy and peaceful “Bookish” Christmas.
See you all in 2018
