Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments He explained to Chris: “I think for kids, it’s a gift to read a diary because when they read stories that are in the third person, brilliant as they are- it costs a kid a lot to read a book. You always have to remember that when you’re writing for children, it costs them to read. So, you want to write something that they’re going to absolutely love, and they’re going to find funny, and they’re going to find moving and then they’re going to get a lot out of the story.” It was Christmas Day, and we were all at Father Christmas’s lodge in the Arctic Hills, celebrating another successful year.

All I have to do is walk my brothers and sisters to school, clean the house, buy the food for supper, cook it, walk them home, help them with their homework and get them ready for bed. And I can’t even do that right.

I also like the little description/quote underneath the illustrations.Night Mayor Franklefink has vanished from the Transylvanian Express - and it's up to you to solve the case!

Father Christmas gave him to her when she was a baby, and he goes everywhere with her.

Beloved by families around the UK his books include The Day I Fell Into A Fairytale, How I Became a Dog Called Midnight and The Boy Who Made the World Disappear. Oh, and just in case it’s a human reading this (it’s always possible): elves live ten times as long as humans. So one hundred and sixty to us is like sixteen to you. Wednesday 22 October I like that Steinar has apology to Tog after saying he had no christmas spirit but in actually fact his spirit is so high it is off the scale, because of Santa loving the lemur Tog has became a toymaking elf. I opened my eyes. I wasn’t in Father Christmas’s house at all. I was in my bunk, in the tiny room I shared with my four younger brothers and sisters: Twig, Leaf, Plum and Pin. My mother was shaking me by the shoulder.I like that chapter 49 is a high for Tog then chapter 50 says he is in police cell because his bag was full of lemurs that weren't his and could be charged with toy stealing.
