Inspired after hearing about Mr Men celebrating 50 years Oscar decided he wanted to do a sponsored read-a-thon and raise money for charity. There's 47 books in his box set and we'll keep you updated on progress! 

Thank you to everyone for your support :)

Barnardo's wants to see all children thriving, regardless of their background, and engaging in the world around them. 

One of the best ways for children to develop is reading and being read to. Reading with children doesn't just provide a great opportunity for talking and listening, it also offers a chance to promote close contact and develops an interest in reading in later life.
