Wow! It is fantastic isn't it? I'd forgotten how good it was!

Dd got some book vouchers for Christmas. Took her to get some books and found this. I bought it for me, and M reading it again. It wad my best boom ever when I was little, and it's still great now.

This version even has a bow on the cover! Dd hasn't even been able to get near it!

I love it to bits. My copy was pink with the girls outlined in white dancing across.

But it's really v sophisticated, isn't it, about separation and poverty.

Which one did you want to be?

I've still got my copy from the seventies...odd to think it was 40 years old even then!

It's one of my favourites! I'm looking forward to reading it to my boys Grin
