Book of the Month | Go All In | National Year of Reading


Throughout 2026, our brilliant Stock Team will be recommending a Book of the Month to help you Go All In for the National Year of Reading.

Discover April's pick, perfect for reading together as a family during the Easter holidays - Pesky Pets and Parties (Hopefully) by Liz Pichon (Who Doesn't Have a Pet But Likes Parties)!

The newest laugh-out-loud Tom Gates story is a joke‑filled diary-style adventure bursting with doodles and fun, ideal for kids (and grown ups) who love a book that makes them laugh themselves silly.

Reserve your copy for free with a child's library card, or borrow as an eBook or audiobook with our free eLibrary apps - whatever suits you!
