The Classic Kids Trainer – New Balance 373

Is it just me, or have trainers just continued to get bulkier over the years? When New Balance sent Bear these 373 trainers, her 10yr old self described then as ‘really different, they’re so cool-looking’. Anyone who has a 10yr old will know that this is Very High Praise.

What The School Librarian Thinks… of Dekko Comics

Collins Publishing and LittleStuff very kindly sent us a set of Dekko Comics for review recently, and I haven’t been able to keep them on the shelves!

The feedback from the children has been...
