The organisers of World Book Day, the book trade’s annual event to be held on March 10, have sent every school a free pack with ideas for projects and activities. “Super Reads” covers 35 titles ranging from Shirley Hughes and Mick Inkpen for under-fives to David Almond and Benjmin Zephaniah for teenagers. The Book Tokens company is giving each child a pound;1 token.
