WITH Bexley libraries' Reading Voyage for older children now back in port, it is the turn of the under-fives.

The Bookstart Book Crawl is a mini-version of the reading scheme for older children.

Youngsters need to be library members to take part in the crawl which is under way at all libraries now and November 20.

Taking part is free and for every four books parents share with their youngsters, the children will received a colour certificate designed by famous children's illustrators.

There are lots of study books on offer to suit all younger children.
