Books of the Week

Our librarians and children's book specialists' highest rated titles of the week.

Thank goodness the teacher has so many willing children to help her learn numbers, decorate her classroom and look out for her on breaks! A wonderful approach to starting school with bright illustrations and hilarious text.  It's a lovely twist on why we go to school and the teacher is oblivious that she is the one being taught.  It's a great book for sharing, and children and adults will laugh out loud at the reversal of roles. It's good fun and sure to be a favourite!  Be prepared to read it again and again!

Start your story with Peters

"Peters is my very favourite place to buy books for our school library. It is so easy to buy books online with them and find out exactly what the book is about beforehand. I can also check recommended age groups and age-appropriate warnings which is such a help. I order my books with plastic covers too which saves me so much time. Thank you Peters for your brilliant and prompt service!"

Ruth Walker - Librarian, Elstree School

"The library that Peters designed for us is perfect for our school. The students have been very excited by our new space, and often comment on how calm it feels. There is a real buzz around the library now, which wasn't there before."

Danielle Rose - Librarian , The Streetly Academy

"I would order with Peters every time. We have made several large orders in the last few years, completely replacing all our library books and they have made it so easy and exciting with a wonderful range of books. They are helpful, timely and brilliantly organised. I cannot recommend them highly enough!"

Caroline Urrutia - Literacy Coordinator, First Tower School, Jersey

"We have had a big drive on Reading for Pleasure and with the brilliant support of Peters we have been very successful in developing a Reading for Pleasure culture in school. So many more children are able to talk about favourite authors and make suggestions to each other about what to read next."

Katie Hutchison - Reading Leader, Scraptoft Valley Primary

"Peters took the time to understand our brief and really get to know the needs of our pupils. They then put together a wonderfully diverse and inclusive range of books so our pupils can see themselves reflected, read the classics, read a book in their home language. We now have a library that is just right for our pupils and will be a place where reading is loved!"
