Richard and Judy’s Children’s Summer Book Club 2011

Booktrust teams up again with WHSmith for Richard and Judy’s Children’s Summer 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.
