August Book Haul from Walker Books

August is definitely a bumper month for books, at least for me as I’ve received a huge pile of books just a couple of weeks ago which are due for release this month ( I didn’t show them off last month as I already had three book haul posts for July)!  This is actually part one of the book haul as there are supposed to be sent in two seperate parcels, plus they also didn’t all fit in the photos 😂  But as of yet I haven’t received parcel 2…I hope they’re still coming! 😮

As usual the books from Walker Books (thank you to the lovely people who sent them 😀 ) are a mix of picture books, children’s reading and some young adult/teen books too.  Let’s begin with the picture books but do check out all the different types of books and let me know if any of them sound particularly interesting to you 🙂  (Descriptions are short ones from Walker Books’ email to me)

The Dam by David Almond & Levi Pinfold – When a great dam was built by the Kielder Water in Northumberland, the valley below slowly filled with water. But just before this, two musicians went back to the abandoned valley – for this would be the last time that music would be heard in this place.

The Pigeon HAS to Go to School by Mo Willems – Why does the Pigeon have to go to school? He already knows everything! Well … almost everything. And what if he doesn’t like it? What if the teacher doesn’t like him? I mean, what if he learns TOO MUCH!?!

This is an exciting bundle and I’m still hoping to show you more books which I hope Walker will be sending this month 😀  For now, let me know what you think of this bundle.  as always reviews will be appearing on this blog in the weeks to come, but when it comes to boxed sets I tend to review both the boxed set seperately from the individual books so I hope you’re looking forward to that 🙂
