You're being blind!
Books you read as a child... Page 5
They have the same smile!

Sorry Marc.
I'll check out some GGK - which do you recommend?
S'ok I only watch the one where they run around with an egg under their arm.
I reccomend them all. Might as well read them in date of publication order!

Don't be surprised if you are red herring-ed. I can't imagine Marc being vindictive, but you started it.
Millions of books, but the 'Alfie & Annie Rose' and Kipper' ones stay in my mind most.'
LOVED this book. Still have it.
About a boy who is the only one in the town not invited to a party. 
Not as depressing as it sounds, though.

The Kipper books are still teaching kids to read.
Does anyone remember the Roger Red Hat, Three Village with Three Corners, reading scheme? They used to freak me out a bit.
Anyone read 'I'm The King Of The Castle' by Susan Hill? On the GCSE reading list thesedays, I believe. Bloody happy kids' book that! (Though very well written.)
Did she also write 'Strange Meeting'?

Yes! I read that in my GCSE.
Liked it and hated it in equal measures.
In fact it stuck in my head for years and is one of the books I bought recently.
She also coins it in from 'The Woman In Black' in the West End.

Fantastic read, but not what I would have thought of as a kid's book.
I loved Dr Seuss wished he'd written some horror that would have been mental.

Yes, I think it upset some of the girls in my class.
Jane Gardham's Long Way From Verona and Bilgewater are good children's fiction that still read well as an adult.
