In episode 176 of the Your Kid’s Next Read podcast:
Getting set to start school
We know, we know, the timing feels odd to be talking about starting school, but after an increase in enquiries in the Your Kid’s Next Read Facebook community, Megan and Allison are chatting about books to read now to help prepare kids (and their grown-ups) who are starting school for the first time next year. Plus, Megan has sustained an injury involving a brass turkey and Allison is vomiting words.
