Over the last few days I have been putting together a little plan for reviews and features in the coming year. As part of this I have looked back over 2018 and pulled together some data to help me see what kind of content you seem to like reading the most. I found the results fascinating!

Are your favourites on there? Ours definitely are!
Ivy’s Library started out as a small account designed to share our favourite children’s books with our friends and family – but in just over year we’ve grown to a point where we have over 6,400 followers across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!
We love watching the community grow and evolve but one thing has definitely stayed the same, and that’s our desire as a family to share books with positive, inclusive messages which help kids learn about themselves and the world they live in.
Looking at the reviews which seem to have resonated with you, it seems that these are the kind of books which you’re looking for too so it’s great that we’re all on the same page!
We’re looking forward to reading all the great new titles due to be published in 2019 – but in the meantime, why don’t you leave us a comment below and tell us which book is currently your child’s favourite at bedtime?
