Richard and Judy’s Children’s Book Club 2011

The new children's book club aims to help parents and carers select the right books for, and with, children and raise confidence around sharing books at home.

Booktrust is delighted to lend its support and advice - as well as reviews of all 18 titles - to Richard and Judy and WHSmith on this campaign that will help people to choose great books that younger readers will love.
