The Flying Orchestra, by Clare McFadden

“Mum, how do you give a book a ‘like’?” “A ‘like’?” I asked my 6-year-old son. “Yeah, a ‘like’. Like for videos on YouTube. So other people know it’s really good. ‘Cause this book’s really good and I want to tell everyone.” Mr 6 waved The Flying Orchestra, by Clare McFadden at me. He loves this book. […]
