Every Wednesday (that I remember!), I will post a children’s book I’ve enjoyed.

If you’ve read it too, or you want to share another book, join in!

Gloam, by Jack Mackay, cover & illus by Ben Joel Price.

Alt text for why I like it.

#ukkidlit #kidlituk #middlegrade #spookyreads

A photograph showing my hand holding a copy of Gloam, by Jack Mackay, cover and illustrations by Ben Joel Price. The cover illustration shows a girl standing beneath a weeping willow; inside the willow’s branches are the title and a picture of a house in a rural landscape, a cat, a talisman stone with an eye painted on it, and a bony white hand.
Why I like it: I can’t read adult horror because I am too weedy, but middlegrade horror like this provides the ideal ladleful of scariness without grossness, menace rather than gory violence. Gloam certainly delivers in terms of creepy and there are times when I was reading frantically while also terrified of what was about to happen. The dynamics between the siblings is well observed, but what makes this book particularly special is the way that it has used horror to explore grief and fear in a way that feels very true and moving.
Ben Joel Price’s illustrations are so absolutely perfect: they both capture the creepiness of the story and bring their own uncanny and even horrifying atmosphere to it. An excellent pairing!

So many. Here are a few of my favourites from lovable, chaotic hounds to tenacious terriers to unbreakable loyalty.

The book, accompanying letter and bag of sweets. The book’s cover shows  scared-looking hero Jude in the centre holding up the detached arm of a zombie with a lamp in its hand, with a girl on the left of him and a cross-looking green zombie on the right.

I don’t think anyone has yet mentioned the irrepressible George! Still one of my all-time faves to read aloud.

And then, of course, we also have '100 dogs' - almost Dr Seuss-like rhymes (comforting, familiar, clever!) and clean, funny, breed-accurate illustrations. I think this book has managed to capture the whole range of diverse life that is "dog".
#KidsBooksFriday
#KidLitUK #UKKidLit #KidLit

Illustrated cover of "100 dogs" by Michael Whaite, it shows 10 different dogs engaging in various activities like burying a bone, sniffing butt, chasing its tail, and being a magical fairy.An illustrated page from the book with the word "which" in the centre surrounded by all kinds of dogs doing all kinds of dog-things.
