THOUSANDS of children from across Scotland are to take part in a special day aimed at raising awareness about the benefits of reading in early life.
Bookstart in Scotland Day will be held on Thursday and will see babies, toddlers and their parents gather at free sessions where they will get ready to sing exactly the same songs and read exactly the same book at exactly the same time as other participants elsewhere in the country.

One of the events will be taking place at The Hub, Castlehill, at 10.30am.

Topping the day's song programme will be Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, announced by Bookstart earlier this month as Scotland's all-time favourite rhyme.

The theme of music has been selected for this year's Bookstart in Scotland Day, in order to highlight the Bookstart Rhymetimes Training Project currently running in many local authorities throughout Scotland.
