New Tangshan Tigers Competition

Tangshan_tigers_stolenjade_fina_2_2To celebrate the launch of a new action-packed adventure series from Puffin called Tangshan Tigers, we're running a brand new competition.  All you have to do is find the Golden Key which is hiding on one of the pages on WebbliWorld. As usual, we've stacks of great prizes including Tangshan Tigers books, bookmarks and WebbliWorld T-shirts. So, who are the Tangshan Tigers? They're masters of martial arts and fighters of crime! Find out all about them, here. You can read the first chapter of the Stolen Jade, too. We've also got a martial arts expert, Don Ravenscroft, to take you through the basics of taekwondo.  Kapow!

WebbliWorld creates new kids' blog - WebbliBloggers

Wanda_crp We know kids really want to have their say on WebbliWorld. As safety is our top priority we decided that the best way to allow them to free-text their thoughts, ideas, hopes and dreams was on their own blog. Every comment is pre-moderated so they have the freedom to express themselves safely. We hope WebbliBloggers will become a really dynamic exchange of views and a fun place to chat. As usual, we'd love to have your feedback.

Read the winning entries from our Puffin Competition

Wstack_booksIt was great to receive so many imaginative entries for our Puffin Competition. We asked kids to write a story about how they would save Bernie the Iceberg from the threat of global warming. A hefty subject, we know. (You can watch Bernie's animated film on Wanda's page.) The entries were all so different.  Some were even completely off brief but were great fun anyway. It made us think - every great author has to start somewhere, so why not on WebbliWorld? Over the coming weeks we'll be publishing the best of the bunch on site.  You can read WebbliCheesy's winning entry, here. And, WebbliBooman's runner-up story, here. Coming soon will be more entries and a great set of poems, too. Don't forget to check them out. Let's hope they inspire more kids to write. Should we be doing more to inspire our budding authors? Let us know.
