P1 Book - 2010 - Manfred the Baddie

Manfred the Baddie During November 2010, all P1 children in Scotland received a free book with a message from Bookbug.

This year’s chosen book, Manfred the Baddie, won the 0-7 age category of the Royal Mail Awards for Scottish Children’s Books. Over 11,000 children voted in this age group, so we were pleased to be gifting a book that really was the children’s choice.
