Do either of these books ring any bells with anyone? I absolutely adored them both and would love to find them.

  1. A collection of poetry. I had this book in early/ mid 90’s. One poem was call Josh and Rosie Lavender and another poem had a line that said ‘daddy goes to sleep again 3,2,1’ and was about settling a baby at night.
  1. Was a Christmas book about a grumpy man who used to say ‘stuff and nonsense’. He had a cat that kept turning up to his house.

Thank you!

The second one wasn’t Raymond Briggs Father Christmas, was it? He says things like “blooming cold”, grrr etc. And he has a cat and a dog.
