ales On Moon Lane takes a special interest in supplying engaging and informative books to schools in and around our local area. Parents and teachers alike can choose from recommendations on the Southwark Reading List. We also have reading notes on popular children's books such as "Silverfin" by Charlie Higson and "The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents" by Terry Pratchett. Reading groups are a great way for children and their teachers to discover a new book together. Follow the links on the sidebar for some information on setting up your own reading groups. Tales On Moon Lane organise events for teachers to meet up and find out about new children's books. These events are also an opportunity to have a good chat with other teaching professionals! Below are more details of our specialist services for schools.
