Joffre White
This message is from the one and only Joffre White who is a UK Patron of Reading.
You can find his fantastic book Frog, and it’s sequels, in our school library.
As well as a message via Twitter, Joffre has made us a video sharing his favourite books, I think his favourites match a bit of ours! Do you agree with his choices?
