Waah! The 2018 Carnegie Medal longlist is here and it is SO GOOD - congratulations to everyone who is included! We have no idea how we'd pick a winner from these 20 books... do you have any favourites? @CILIPCKG @CILIPinfo #CKG18 #bestchildrensbooks

STOP EVERYTHING. No, seriously, do. You have to - it's #NationalLazyDay ! It's basically law that you have to loll about, in other words. (And yes, it IS time for our favourite Little Women quote again.) #FridayFeeling #friyay

We are wishing the happiest of birthdays to the magnificent Allan Ahlberg, the author of so many iconic books loved by families for generations (including, of course, the wonderful stories he created with his late wife, illustrator Janet Ahlberg). Which is your favourite? 🎈
