Hello cousin 📚💚
A photograph of an island in a deep loch, taken from the side of a mountain. The accompanying text is the pinned post of the readwyrm bluesky account (about a book-hoarding dragon under the roots of the mountain Ben More on the Isle of Mull in Scotland)

More than 30 years ago a close friend gave me Hiawyn Oram's 'Angry Arthur', about a boy who loses his temper with hilarious, world-shattering consequences. It's been helping families cope with tantrums ever since. Satoshi Kitamura's spiky illustrations are perfect here.
Cover of the picture book 'Angry Arthur' by Hiawyn Oram and Satoshi Kitamura. A very cross boy with arms folded, wearing a striped teeshirt, sits on a brick chimney in a row of terraced houses. Lightning flashes behind him.

The Eyebrows of Doom by Steve Smallman and Miguel Ordóñez is the funniest reading-aloud book in the history of reading aloud. Ready for fun , Eyebrow one? Don't mind if I do, Eyebrow two.
Cover of picture book The Eyebrows of Doom by Steve Smallman and Miguel Ordóñez. Yellow with a large red bear looking directly out of the frame. The bear is wearing a pair of grey, hairy, obviously fake eyebrows, each of which has an eye and the suggestion of a face.

Readwyrm does get indigestion from time to time. Too many newsbites in Jan 2024. I encourage them to stick to picture books whenever their tummy gets rumbly.
A newspaper article from January 2024: the epicentre of the quake was at Dervaig in the Isle of Mull.

Grahame Baker-Smith's book about the water cycle, Rhythm of the Rain, is a glorious festival of water and landscape painting. It follows the vastness of water's journey, from rain to river to ocean to cloud and back to mountaintop, through the eyes of children, each caught in a watery moment.
Cover of the picture book Rhythm of the Rain by Grahame Baker-Smith. Shades of blue and green. A child in a small sailing boat on a winding river in the rain. A painting of a great green and gold sea wave curling over, about to crash into white foam.

In a cave deep beneath the magma chamber of an extinct volcano on the Isle of Mull, Readwyrm lies sleeping. If you dig down (though please don’t) you won’t find gleaming goblets and golden coins. Books… #books are everywhere...
