Dog pulled the old second dinner switcheroo tonight.

Collies may be great at agility, Huskies may pull sleds in minus 20 degrees and Spaniels might sniff out drugs faster than a 70s rock guitarist, but no one cons a second dinner like a labrador.

This episode is amazing:

The 21% Monster series is an origin story for a diverse, UK based superhero team.

The first book, 21% Monster, has been shortlisted for the Dudley Children's book Award in 2023 and the Salford Children's Book Award 2024. The book has been selected for the BookTrust Bookbuzz programme in 2024.

So this happened. Maybe I'll see you at the awards ceremony...

Chuffed to see 21% Monster in The BookTrust's Great Books Guide 2023:

"With extraordinary characters... this gripping tale is sure to appeal to fans of Alex Rider and Percy Jackson."

Also brilliant to see relevance to PSHE highlighted. The book touches on bullying and dealing with being different.

We had to move the dog’s bed to put this up. She is annoyed.

21% Monster series spotted in Derry. I love how striking the covers are. 👇🏼

Probably the best thing about my dog is that she loves vets. It makes life easier.
Apparently, being rushed by a 32kg labrador in search of a cuddle was a 'refreshing change' for yesterday's vet.
This time, dog didn't then jump on the table and accidentally slide off the other side. She's learning.

Not getting near the new book arrival. Should've got two copies...

It only takes one book to spark an interest in reading. Chuffed it was 21% Monster for one 11 year-old reluctant reader. 😁👇🏼

Just landed in Bluesky. I have nothing book related to say, so here's a picture of a happy dog.

More interesting posts may follow. You can be the judge of that.
