Bookbug Week 2021 – Bookbug’s Big Splash!

Join us for Bookbug Week 2021! We’ll be celebrating everything water-based from seaside books, fishy books, drop-them-in-the-bath-books, to things we like doing outdoors (splashing in puddles is Bookbug’s favourite!)

We have a jam-packed week in store for you. There will be competitions, activities, and giveaways galore, and lots of things you can join in with either at home or in your early years setting.
