to want to set up a charity to buy Donaldson and Scheffler books for the childless?

[sethstarkaddersmackerel]

Just think how many people are missing out

they will never get to see the detail in all the fabulous city drawings in Tabby McTat.

they will never find themselves accidentally singing whilst reading The Smartest Giant In Town aloud.

Some of them will never even know what a gruffalo is

I fervently believe that everyone has the right to Donaldson and Scheffler books.

It is sad.

One of the joys of my life is to find DS (2.6) sat down 'reading' 'A Gosh and a Geeze' to himself.

I'm not so sure how I feel about being called a 'silly old Mummy'

Ali - dd1 used ot read "a skosh and a sneeeeze" lots too.

actually, thinking about it, I haven't seen Stick Man about recently - I don't think dd2 has ever rread it . must go hunt it out.

so true - maybe we could hire out the DC so they would get the full gruffalo experience though.
