Talking of books which are just too bouncy for sleepytime…
Bookshelfdad put Monkey and Me in B’s sleepytime bookpile by mistake. It’s a lovely book, but not one I’d tend to choose for just-before-bed. There are ‘anticipation’ pages which just beg to be acted out – vigorously – by an adult bouncing the child about. Great fun rather than very restful!
Emily Gravett’s spontaneous pencilwork is just perfect for the vivid, lively images, affectionately realised without a sniff of sentimentality. I like her website too.
And much though I love it, it was great to give Sharing a Shell a rest, for one night at least….
