BEDTIME READING
“We have started a new book?”
Age 5

That’s my bed and that’s the ladders. There’s George’s Marvellous Medicine on top of the covers. I can’t WAIT to read it!

May 12, 2013

[Mum walks into bedroom and finds Son doing a very bad version of a headstand on the bed – where his knees are still on the bed!]

Mum: What are you doing?

Son: Trying to see if I get The Dreaded Shrinks.

[Influenced by his TWO reads of Roald Dahl’s The Twits, illustrated by Quentin Blake.]
