Been babysitting most of the weekend so have had great fun reading a couple of classics.
Hairy Maclary From Donaldson’s Dairy is absolutely brilliant, but this weekend it was all about it's underrated sequel Hairy Maclary's Bone. It's a very flexible piece of literature which can be read in a number of styles. My favourite is in early 90's hip hop style. Good times.
On the other hand, I find the much rated Peepo! incredibly boring. Yawn city.

Where The Wild Things Are.
And more recently Dear Zoo. The delight of making animal noises doesn't really fade.

There was only one thing I ever dreamed about
And fate has just
Handed it to me - whoopee

Dear Zoo doesn't make any fucking sense. If I wrote to the zoo asking for a pet I'm pretty sure I'd get told to fuck right off. They certainly wouldn't ship me out a variety of exotic animals.
