Show Notes
It’s Weekend Breakfast’s Little Reader Book Club time, and Alison welcomes 11-year-old Phoebe Bedford from Hollywell Educate Together in Swords onto the airwaves.
Phoebe gives shout-outs to her family, friends and teacher Evan, chats about her love of reading (and the joy of winning signed books on the show!!), and introduces us to her nibbly dwarf hamster with the BEST NAME EVER!!
Phoebe reads from The Extremely Embarrassed Life of Lottie Brooks by Katie Kirby, with a very relatable “plot twist” about parents, phones, and the minimum age for Instagram.
