As I’m sure you know if you have children in primary school, World Book Day is quickly approaching. To mark the occasion, Miles Kelly organised a World Book Day Secret Giver project, just like Secret Santa but with books! It was great fun to take part in this. We have some Miles Kelly books already and they have a lovely selection on their website so I was confident that we would be able to find something suitable for the child we been assigned.
For my partner, I was assigned 92three30.com and chose the My First Question and Answer Book, seeing that Erica’s son H is a year old than Mr Z.
You can see their World Book Day Secret Giver post here. I’m so happy H liked the book!
I don’t know who chose our book, but they definitely made a great choice. We were sent a Pirate Ship book which converts from a book, to a playmat, into a pirate ship that children can sit in and play. It’s such a cool idea and Mr R was so excited by it when it arrived. When Mr T got back from nursery he was just as excited! Both of them have been building it into a pirate ship and sitting in it every day since it arrived. It really captured their imagination. They are very into pirates at the moment and always making “pirate ships” out of the furniture so they were very happy to have their own real one to play in.
On the reverse of the pirate ship design, the book has a story about a treasure hunt, showing the pirates journey as they follow the map until they find “X marks the spot” with lots of detailed pictures along the way. The illustrations are all bright and colourful and very cute, perfect for little ones.
Thanks so much to my Secret Book Giver whoever you are, and to Miles Kelly for the great idea!

That’s a cool pirate ship. I can see that Miles Kelly are a book company I’ll have to keep my eye open for! 🙂
This looks great, it’s fun to see the other vehicles in the range as we received the School Bus from our secret giver.
What fantastic ideas! Both the book Secret Santa, and the book-turned-boat that you were sent. It’s so lovely to see so many bloggers taking part in this, and the smiles on R and T’s faces!
Its great when you can use books differently like this one. We had a sea book like this and my son spent hours lying inside it reading!
These really do look so fantastic! I bet your boys will have a lot of fun with it!
