TNL Book of the Year Competition
Don’t say we don’t spoil you, loyal TNL’ers, as we have ANOTHER competition coming up. A competition with perhaps the most exciting prize pool that we have ever offered, the chance to win for your setting:
A YOTO Player and starter pack
A Children’s Storage Unit from Liberty House Toys
And 6 of the best new books from children’s publisher Thames & Hudson: If I had a Unicorn, If I had a Sleepy Sloth, If I had a Dinosaur, Keep an Eye on Ivy, ABC off to sea! and A House for Mouse
The competition
Despite everything that is going on in the world, if there is one thing that we have been able to appreciate this year, it is a good book, and a good children’s book in particular. Engaging children in fun reading early on is not only fantastic for their early development, giving children a life-long association with ‘reading for pleasure’ is shown to have a far greater impact on later literacy and development than simply ‘reading for information’.
We have thoroughly enjoyed reading a variety of books with our children throughout this year, such as Tiger, Tiger Burning Bright. There is no shortage of great books out there, and we want to find a way to share them as widely as we can.
So, to celebrate all-things-book and start off 2021 with a great new reading list for everybody, we want to see what books YOU have been enjoying!

We will be choosing the winner at random, with the winner taking home the prize stash for their setting. The deadline is on January 6th at noon UK time, so plenty of time during the holiday break or some passionate scribbling!
