My Favourite Books as a Child Day 14



As a child

·         I wanted to go On The Ning Nang Nong  to see the cows go Bong.
·         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.

  4. The Owl and the Pussy Cat was always a favourite of mine. When we got to end of a book, I would say to Mom 'read it again' x.
