Hands up if you know who this little chappie is?
Now, now don’t be shy and don’t fib!

Of course it’s Bookaboo from the TV programme of the same name that encourages young children to get into stories and reading. Brilliant idea!
With your help an East Renfrewshire Primary school teacher could be appearing on the show.
Emma Taylor, who teaches at Giffnock Primary, is one of just six in the competition run by the Times Educational Supplement.

Now the school is appealing to pupils, parents and the community to back Mrs Taylor and vote for her as their favourite.

If she wins, an episode of popular CITV book show Bookaboo will be filmed at the school.

Online voting is now under way and ends at midnight on Sunday 8 September.

The TES competition sees six teachers from across the UK record themselves reading from a children’s book.

Mrs Taylor is the only finalist from Scotland.

She filmed herself reading When I woke up I was a hippopotmus by Tom MacRae. Its a favourite in the Giffnock Primary P2 classrooms.

The footage is now available to view on the TES website, where voting also takes place.

The Bookaboo team will chose the winner from the two finalists with the most votes.

Mrs Taylor said: I am absolutely thrilled to have reached this stage.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story to the children, sharing their enjoyment in it.

I also thought it would be nice to choose this one as I had organised a visit to the school last year from the books illustrator, Ross Collins.

Mrs Taylors video can be viewed and voted for at the think, educate and share website.

The name of the winner will be announced on 16 September. Filming would take place in October

So help out ER and get voting!
