Books are an amazing way to spend time escaping to a new reality. Whether it's beneath the ocean, roaming with dinosaurs or exploring a rainforest; there is always something new to discover.
I'm a primary school teacher from Australia who enjoys reading and sharing fantastic books with my students. I thought why limit myself to my classroom when I can share them with the world?
No copyrights are sought to be broken and full acknowledgements are given to the fantastic authors and illustrators whose stories allow us all to go on new adventures when we open the front covers of their books.
If you love these books as much as me, go out and buy the hard copy like I did, they're even better!

Rebel! by Allan Baillie
Everything is peaceful in the sleepy Burmese village until the General arrives. When he demands to be given half of everything the villagers have or make, one thong is flung at the General. When he attempts to find out who owns the thong, the children's clever thinking and collective attitude humiliates the General. When we work together we can achieve anything.
