Featured Books
Books featured in the show are carefully selected from approximately 500 that are submitted each series by top publishers across the UK. Selection criteria are simple – books must be truly enjoyable to share aloud for both children and adults.
Producer Goodman looks for quality of writing and illustration together with variety across the books featured in the series. Funny books, silly books, slightly scary books, books that rhyme and books that challenge difficult issues. All books selected are intended to appeal to boys and girls.
Goodman also looks to offer celebrities books they will enjoy sharing and that they feel some 'fit' with, for example:
-
- Meat Loaf shares a truly adventurous book called 'The Lamb Who Came For Dinner'
- Al Murray shares a funny book about farting called 'Pooh! Is that you Bertie?'
- A very pregnant Melanie C shared a beautiful book about unconditional love called 'No Matter What'
Books are available in all good book stores and stickered with Bookaboo's 'Share A Book Today' campaign sticker.

Famous quotes containing the word books:
“... a phallocentric culture is more likely to begin its censorship purges with books on pelvic self-examination for women or books containing lyrical paeans to lesbianism than with See Him Tear and Kill Her or similar Mickey-Spillanesque titles.”
—Robin Morgan (b. 1941)
