As a child
·
I wanted to peek under the Quangle Wangle's Hat (202ft)
to see his face.
·
I loved hearing about The Owl and the Pussy Cat
sailing off in their pea green boat and I wanted to meet the Piggy Wig with a
ring at the end of his nose.
·
I loved From A Railway Carriage by Robert Louis Stevenson. I loved how my mum read it to me to the rhythm of a train.
I loved sharing with my son when he was little.
