P1 Book

During their first year at primary school, all children in Scotland will receive a free book with a message from Bookbug. Last year’s chosen book, What the Ladybird Heard, won first prize in the 0-7 age category of the Royal Mail Awards for Scottish Children's Books.  With over 11,000 children voting in this age group, we were delighted to gift a book that really was the children's choice.
