easy to write a children’s book,
but it is, in fact, quite difficult,

stern critics. There is also a
certain cadence and vocabulary
needed to capture the attention
of a child with often what is, to
adults, quite a ridiculous idea.                                                                                  Betty and Alan Gilderdale with
