We have teamed up with HarperCollins to give away £12million of books — and tomorrow is the last day that schools can register.

More than a quarter of all primary schools in England, Wales and Northern Ireland have signed up.

Schools must collect 3,500 tokens, which will be printed in The Sun from Saturday, to receive a box of more than 100 books from the Collins Big Cat reading programme.

Chestnuts school librarian Tanya Efthymiou says: “We encourage the children to read for pleasure and they all get to visit our library.

"One book can make a difference and convince a child that they really do like reading.”

Check if your school is registered at  and use the postcode checker.

If the school hasn’t signed up, ask them to do it by midnight tomorrow.
