All the children in fancy dress
Mums and Dads competing to be the best
Imagination running wild some of the themes are they really for the child?
Gruffalos, tortoises, turtles and bears
George's Marvellous Medicine, BFG and Hares
Darth Vader makes a show, Harry Potter, Princesses too
How much paper, material and glue?
How much time for the parent to make?
There's reading homework, maths too, extra curricular clubs, trips to the zoo
Then there's evening meal and bathtime, all of this before 7oclock
Just a few minutes for the parent to take stock
Before cutting, crimping, glueing around the clock
But on the morning all is worthwhile when photos begin to show
Of smiling children in their suits and parents all aglow
Beaming with pride in their eyes as they walk their little Minchpin to the gate not even one second late
Happy World Book Day
Thanks for the feedback Lee, I'm glad you and your son enjoyed it. Thank you so much for purchasing it, I do appreciate it
My son and I read the children's book by the original poster of this thread, Jackie Mead. We enjoyed it greatly, I just haven't written a full review on Amazon or this site yet. It was a fun bedtime read, though, he let his imagination run all sorts of places with it!
Absolutely I agree, it's the best bit of the day reading to your child. The parents I know still do this but it is a sad state of affairs that so often this doesn't happen for our children. Events like this hopefully help parents and children to be interested in books and characters and using their imagination
Books are useless...
Unless someone reads them
Parents should be reading to their young child nightly
No time??
MAKE TIME!
No parents around?
Ahhhhh... now there is a problem
that no one talks about.
Let's start talking about it then.
