'The Wrong Book' read simultaneously

Empire Bay Public School participated in National Simultaneous Storytime on Wednesday, May 22.

National Simultaneous Storytime, now in its 13th year, is organised by the Australian Library and Information Association.

"It is a colourful, vibrant and fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy," said principal Mr Brad Lewis.

"Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places around the country.

"This year, The Wrong Book by Nick Bland was chosen to read to children across the nation.

"I was invited into several classrooms to read this book and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to share good literature with our students," he said.
