Reviews of There's More To Books Than Reading

“This is a great book to give any early-years practitioner masses of confidence. It is jam-packed full of ideas to make the most out of stories whether they are traditional oral tales or in books. It is ingenious at showing you how to tie in activities from books and stories to all sorts of different areas or learning from the obvious literacy and numeracy to technology and health and self-care. It is extremely practical and what you learn from this little volume, you can use straight away.”

“It’s a wonderful thing to support a fellow nanny who is spreading her knowledge and expertise to the world. Kathryn Lord writes in a relatable way, offering the reader tons of ideas to keep their kids busy and learning throughout the day, taking some of the work out of the planning process (something all nannies and parents could be grateful for!). Anyone responsible for educating young minds should give Kathryn’s book a read!”

Testimonial: Kathryn made me realsie that my son only really plays with two to three toys at a time. So we developed a rotation system which is easy to follow and keeps things fresh for him. Natalie, Holland Park

Testimonial: Kathryn was absolutely amazing at organising my daughter's bedroom. As it is quite a small room and my daughter owns a lot of important things, having a clear system is important to keep it tidy. Kathryn achieved exactly that by sorting clothes, toys and books (and everything else) and pulled them where it makes sense. My daughter was happy to find her room beautifully organised and all her treasures easy to find. She has ben keeping it tidy ever since as she now knows where things go and finds it much easier to maintain the order. A huge thank you Kathryn! Klara, Wimbledon
