“Big Bad Wolf Investigates Fairy Tales” by Catherine Cawthorne and #SaraOgilvie is delicious fun. It’s quirky and playful , packed with great science and fab brief retells. It’s full of energy and humour. The kids have loved the debunking of known stories #PicturebookPage

If you are a podcast listener, whether for washing up, dog walking, commuting or relaxing in the bath - you really need to give the Oracy Commission Podcast a listen. Great guests and conversations. Beautifully hosted by Geoff Barton. I'm loving it.
