NQWI this book collection sounds like the training manual used for senior management training. |

Er, "Beaver Magic" might, if you were cynical, have unsuspected connotations. Tread carefully, esteemed former colleague! |

I am still reeling over Gumbles and Bottersnikes.
I don't think, therefore I'm not.

Emotional literacy, maths, science and history from the look of things, with age-appropreate titles. plus, of course, "Beaver Magick for Kids" must be Dianic Witchcraft, also an important subject for children to study*
*Of course, this final suggestion may be less than serious |

On entering a benign and relatively general interweb search whilst considering a purchase for grandchildren's books (they're sick of my olde worlde choices and want me to "get with it") I discovered that the most popular 'book styles' appear to be (in no particular order or country of origin);
- beaver magic for kids
- trail of tears
- why don't haircuts hurt
- learning maths from a baby tiger
- today I feel silly and other moods
- barefoot escape on the underground railroad
Do these titles and/or genres sound familiar?
Is there something I'm missing out on?
It might not be a relevant napo thread but hey, you were once colleagues and contrary to some opinions your views are still important to old soaks in their twilight years...?
P.S. shame on NOMS for its disgraceful achievement of spending £1500 per NOMS employee for office furniture; and the appalling choice of alleged "artworks" in its public spaces. An explicit display of the piss-poor standards held by those with responsibility for "taste & decency" (who they???) within the NOMS/MoJ departments. But where did the previously commissioned original artworks disappear to? I thought I glimpsed them at |
