A World Book Day Special: with Stephen Mangan

  • Summary

  • To celebrate World Book Day, Sara is joined by actor, screenwriter and children's author Stephen Mangan.

    His new book, 'The Fart That Broke World Book Day', was written specifically for...well you guessed it...World Book Day, alongside books by Julia Donaldson, Bluey, Paddington and many more.

    We sent his book to a school in Sheffield, for our Junior Book Club reviewers - Noah, Lily, Ayla and Arthur - to read and review. Listen to find out what they thought - and how Stephen reacts to their honesty!

    Also in this bumper episode, Fun Kids presenter Bex Lindsay gives us a round-up of some of her favourite kids books that have been published recently. Her choices are:

    Younger readers (under 7):

    Charlie Higson and Nadia Shireen- What's That Noise? Gordon D'Arcy- Let's Play Rugby! James Kochalka- Green Eggs and Ham

    7-9 year olds:

    Nathaneal Lessore- Solving Crime is NOT My Superpower Serena Patel- Pia's Pet Club

    Middle-Grade (9-12):

    Judith Eagle- The Great Theatre Rescue Brogen Murphy- Wildlands AF Steadman- Skandar

    And as if that wasn't enough - we're also joined by the CEO of World Book Day - Cassie Chadderton - who reminds us of the importance of getting children reading, and explains how you can use the vouchers to get a child a free book.
