Our newsletter brings book news, reviews and diary dates together in one place. Join the list to keep up with what the team is reading.

Gobblefunked exists for one simple reason: to share the joy of children's books with anyone who loves a good story. From picture books for the smallest readers to graphic novels and dyslexia-friendly titles, the site gathers together the kinds of reads that make young minds light up. There are seasonal favourites, age ranges to browse, and plenty of room for the titles that get read again and again. Whether you are a grown-up hunting for the next bedtime favourite or a young reader chasing a new series, there is always something waiting to be discovered here.

Much of what makes Gobblefunked special is the conversation around books. Regular interviews with authors and illustrators offer a peek behind the scenes, while reviews and featured reads help readers decide what to pick up next. There are chats with writers from near and far, news about awards and shortlists, and spotlights on books that deserve a wider audience. The tone stays warm and enthusiastic throughout, celebrating the craft behind every story and the people who bring those stories into the world for children to enjoy.

Beyond the reviews and interviews, Gobblefunked is a place for community. Competitions, newsletters, and seasonal features give readers reasons to come back and to join in, and the team genuinely welcomes feedback and suggestions from anyone who stops by. That spirit of listening shapes the site, keeping it responsive to what families, teachers, and young readers actually want to find. Contributions and ideas are treated as part of the conversation, so the site grows alongside the people who use it rather than standing still as a fixed catalogue of titles.

The name itself is a nod to playful language and the sheer inventiveness of children's writing, and that sense of fun runs through everything here. Books can be funny, tender, strange, or a little bit mischievous, and Gobblefunked makes space for all of it, from short reads to longer adventures across a wide range of ages. The aim is simple and steady: to help more readers find the stories that stay with them, and to keep celebrating the writers, illustrators, and publishers who make those books possible.
