Launched today, the annual event run by the Scottish Book Trust, which is designed to encourage parents and children to share books together, is part of the scheme for every child in Scotland to receive four free bags of books throughout their childhood: one around six weeks, at 18 months, at three years old and at the start of primary school.
The theme of this year’s Bookbug Week is ‘Bookbug’s Big Bedtime Story’.
To celebrate the start of Bookbug Week, children from Murrayfield Nursery snuggled in bed with children’s author Debi Gliori, the Bookbug mascot and sheep (pictured) to discover whether sharing a story or counting sheep is the best path to a good night’s sleep.
