LIVE WEB CHAT ON TUES 3 NOVEMBER WITH FREE DVD GIVEAWAY

I've been asked to give a live web chat on ivillage.co.uk on Tuesday 3rd November between 11 and 12, around Bookaboo and encouraging children to read. Both exciting, as it'll be interesting to hear questions and nerve wracking as its my first live webchat and I'll be tapping away furiously to avoid any Gordon/biscuit/mumsnet dauddling accusations! Of course, I'll answer any questions from Bookaboo Grownups here at any time, but I thought you may like to know, particularly as they… Continue

A book before bedtime or we won't sleep!

They had soaked the bathroom floor after bath football, and you may have mistaken the talc debris as a snow storm...but last night as we sat on my bed getting ready for a story my 4 yr old announced " A book a day or I won't sleep". Mmmm wonder who gave her that idea eh? Bookaboo your cheeky tactics are being copied!!! True to her word after a story it was straight to sleep and not a peep till the morning! Jo Continue

THE GREAT BOOKABOO SHADES DEBATE

If it hasn’t become abundantly clear from my first two blogs – I got just a wee bit nervous about the Bookaboo DVD launch. So much so, in the months leading up to it, I became an obsessed perfectionist and "ummed" and "ahhed" and consulted endless friends (well I hadn't got the hang of ning by then!) on the divisive and, more-contentious-than-Gordon-Brown's-favourite-biscuit issue - ie the Bookaboo great shades debate! Oh yes! This had me paralysed for at least 3 days! Should Bookaboo wear sungl… Continue

Bookaboo is on DVD

I guess as this is my first ever blog, it's appropriate that it should be about my first ever Bookaboo D Day ....well DVD day to be more precise - the first Bookaboo DVD is finally out there!

Now those of you, not at home at 3 in the afternoon can enjoy our rock puppy superstar whenever you want, and even wherever you w… Continue

MORNING AFTER CONFESSIONS OF AN ASDA STALKER

I don't think I've ever felt more nervous trotting into ASDA in my life! Normally – I’m in and out, bags bulging with dinner and rather boring cleaning stuff, without a second glance. But not yesterday morning. Instead, I stepped gingerly down the crowded aisles of that great green lettered giant with quaking knees! Accompanied by the good folk from Abbey (my DVD distributors), I was there to see whether the little piece of plastic that we've sweated over for the past couple of months had actual… Continue

Kym Marsh Video

Thanks for doing such a terrific job on The Cow that Laid an Egg – I thought Kym Marsh read the book beautifully. I notice that there are additional videos for almost every show other than 'The Cow...'. Any news when these will be posted? Continue
