About Chatterbooks
With Jacqueline Wilson as the patron, and authors and publishers supporting the scheme, Chatterbooks is a great way to find out about the best children's books and ideas to get children hooked on reading.
Chatterbooks offers an innovative, exciting and creative reading approach, which will meet libraries' and schools' objectives in an imaginative way. Chatterbooks groups will appeal to all children, including those not currently engaged with reading.
