The boy's a fairy!

Hot competition in the nursery. Would he get one of the star roles in the nursery nativity? Joseph? Perhaps he would follow in his Dad's footstep and get to be first King? Nah. Not even the donkey or a sheep or bit of lowing cattle. A fairy! They call it an angel but really, look at him. Shove a christmas tree up his jacks and it's a fairy. God knows what kind of impact that'll have on him. He'll maybe end up like that Antony guy.

Check out the Boris Johnson lookalike.

Still, on Ewan's behalf, happy Christmas everybody.

  • Enid Blyton: The Circus of Adventure

    Enid Blyton: The Circus of Adventure
    As you know, I'm not one to criticise but this series is getting a little predictable and repetitive. Guess what: the children went off on their hols and are now embroiled in an unexpected adventure involving foreigners. A bit of a rum do, I'd say. Rather!

  • Allan Ahlberg; Janet and Allan Ahlberg; Janet Ahlberg; Allan Ahlberg Janet; Ahlberg: Burglar Bill

    Allan Ahlberg; Janet and Allan Ahlberg; Janet Ahlberg; Allan Ahlberg Janet; Ahlberg: Burglar Bill
    Aye, we've been here before but it's Ellen's turn now. Great book.

  • Enid Blyton: The Ship of Adventure

    Enid Blyton: The Ship of Adventure
    Let's see - it goes like this. Children set off for a perfectly straightforward holiday under the supervision of a responsible adult. Suddenly some swarthy foreigner appears and before you know, they're in trouble. With pluck and intelligence the baddies are thwarted. What these kids need is the Mystery Machine.

  • Enid Blyton: The Mountain of Adventure (Adventure Series)

    Enid Blyton: The Mountain of Adventure (Adventure Series)
    It's just not plausible to have these kids saying that they won't get into any scrapes when the books are all called The xyz of Adventure and in each previous book getting into a scrape is exactly what they did. It doesn't take a genius to make the link. Jesus, Enid, a bit of realism.

  • Enid Blyton: The Sea of Adventure (Adventure Series [3])

    Enid Blyton: The Sea of Adventure (Adventure Series [3])
    Aye, we're working our way through the whole series. That Lucy-Ann fair gets on a person's wick though.

  • Julia Donaldson: The Gruffalo

    Julia Donaldson: The Gruffalo
    Oh help, oh no! Aye, there's very little to match the wee mousy adventure and doesn't the wee lassie like to listen to it day, after day, after ... (*****)

  • Enid Blyton: The Valley of Adventure

    Enid Blyton: The Valley of Adventure
    Aye, good old Enid. She spins a spiffing yarn of childhood adventure, which I have to say, fair captures the attention of a small boy. (****)

  • Roald Dahl: Matilda (My Roald Dahl)

    Roald Dahl: Matilda (My Roald Dahl)
    After the Birdman, it's on to Matilda although I worry about the effect on the boy's self esteem. This lassie's only four and reading Chaucer and Ewan's five and reading Bingo and the Bone.

  • Andrew Davenport: Too Much Pinky Ponk Juice! ("In the Night Garden")

    Andrew Davenport: Too Much Pinky Ponk Juice! ("In the Night Garden")
    Not that Ellen actually reads books or will even sit still long enough to have one read to her but she does like to look at this one, fold the pages in half and sometimes tear them. But it's the start of a long relationship with books.

  • David Almond: My Dad's a Birdman

    David Almond: My Dad's a Birdman
    Ewan's second time round for this touching story of how Lizzie helps her dad get over his depression after the death of his wife. They enter Mr Poop's birdman competition.
