Looking for your next book?

Children need to be interested and motivated to read. Talking to your child/children about the books they are reading is a great way to motivate them. Encourage them to re-tell the story and talk about what they like or dislike. If they do not like a book, that’s ok.

“If you don’t like to read, you haven’t found the right book.” – J.K. Rowling”


The links below have a fantastic selection of books arranged by subject and age group. If you / your child read one of these books, why not recommend it to a friend?

One of the children in Durdle Door has written their own book. We all enjoyed reading about the adventures of Bob and Clive, the singing and dancing goldfish.
