Bedtime stories with The Book People and WIN a bundle of picture books

18/09/2017

Moon Man The Book People Bedtime Stories

When I first discovered I was pregnant with Little Miss C one of the things I really looked forward to was being able to snuggle up and share bedtime stories with a little one. I’ve always loved books, and remember loving them as a child too and so wanted to share that with a child of my own. That happened and I’m delighted to say that LMC now loves books and reading about as much as I did when I was a child. It was wonderful seeing how in awe she was to meet Jacqueline Wilson recently and made me so happy to see her getting that pleasure from meeting an author.

Little Miss C may now be 7 and able to read independently, but it is still just as important that she has grown ups reading to her too and also listening to her read. Reading is not just a skill that you should just stop working at. Children are still developing and learning to read different things – whether they be harder words, about things that are more complicated to comprehend, or different types of reading material. It’s something that her new junior school has been really keen to reinforce when the children moved up, and a large part of her home learning in Year 3 centres around reading. Experts say that children should spend 20 minutes a day reading to develop their literacy skills.

Moon Man The Book People Bedtime Stories

Despite this though, research commissioned by The Book People has shown that one in five parents of 5 – 11 year olds do not read with their children at all. That figure shocked me. And saddened me. LMC and I still enjoy sharing books together and the thought of a child like Master C (who turns five later this week) not having someone sit down and read with him makes me quite upset. It’s not just the educational side of reading that is so important, but also spending that quality time one on one with a child. Despite this though 54% of the same group of parents spend less than an hour a week reading with their children.

The Book People commissioned this research for its second annual Bedtime Story competition which challenges young authors aged between five and 11 to create a picture book on the theme of friendship. The judging panel is led by Strictly Come Dancing presenter Claudia Winkelman, and the winner will become a published author, with their book being brought to life by top illustrator Alison Brown, and published by Little Tiger.

Moon Man The Book People Bedtime Stories

Last year’s competition was won by Isabel Harris with her book The Moon Man. It tells the story of two sets of animal friends who view a scarecrow in very different ways.

It’s lovely to see what children come up with then they are asked to write their own stories. Sometimes you can see where they have taken their inspiration from in stories that you have shared with them, but then on the flip side sometimes what their imagination comes up with can blow you away.

Win a bundle of five bedtime story picture books, including The Moon Man, from The Book People

    I loved the Magic Faraway Tree when I was younger. And then Malory Towers. I’m about to start reading The Magic Faraway Tree with my 3 and 6 year old girls. I find it really sad that some parents never read with their children

    I have such wonderful memories of Mum reading to me from my favourite bedtime book which was Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tales and Stories. One of my most favourite was and still is Thumbelina 🙂
    How fitting should it be that so many years later i would marry a man with the same surname only spelt slightly different 🙂 x

    When I was a child my father had visited the Soviet Union (as it was then), and brought back a book of Russian fairy tales which was full of stories about snowy forests full of bears, wolves, witches and brave little girls. It had wonderful illustrations full of amazing detail. Sadly the book was lost or given away years ago as I would have loved to have been able to read it to my children.
