Children’s Hour: Mr Gumpy’s Outing

By Lucybirdbooks @lucybirdbooks

In honour of John Burningham who died last week I am re-posting my Children’s Hour post of his book ‘Mr Gumpy’s Outing’

Children’s Hour: Mr Gumpy’s Outing Lucybird's Book Blog

Children’s Hour: Mr Gumpy’s Outing Children’s Hour is a feature posted every Thursday here at Lucybird’s Book Blog. Children’s Hour is my time for reviewing children’s picture books. In my job in a nursery I encounter lots of children’s books, and these are the books I use for Children’s Hour.

You can find links to past Children’s Hour posts here.

I’d love to hear everybody’s experiences of the books I review too, and feel free to post me a link to your own reviews, I’d love to make this a bit interactive.
