Pookie's 2000th Post.

Pookie · 08.22.2006, 08:44 AM

Who is the best children's author (pre-school).

Sorry if this is a bit specialised, it's sonicl's fault.

Poll to follow.

Hip Priest · 08.22.2006, 08:45 AM

Let me be the first to offer my congratulations, Pookie. Looking forward to the next 2,000.

Waiting for the poll...

No Roger Hargreaves?

Hip Priest · 08.22.2006, 08:49 AM

Meg and Mog are cool.

sonicl · 08.22.2006, 08:50 AM

I heart Dr Seuss

DemonBox · 08.22.2006, 08:50 AM

Gratulations man! Looking forward to another 2000 of your posts. Keep it up man.

Hip Priest · 08.22.2006, 08:51 AM

Your 2,000 might not be too far away, sonicl.

As you can probably guess, this poll is based on the books I have to read night after night.

I meant to use the 10th option for 'other' but I forgot.

How are you celebrating Spookie?

You're not reading Mr Men books to Kitty? What sort of a terrible father are you???

The Mr Fussy is good, because Mr Messy (or something) comes to stay, and the picture of him 'sitting' in Fussy's chair, all out of place, is priceless.

I tried but she doesn't like them!

My favourites are ones that are good to read out loud, and that applies to all the ones I listed apart from Charlie & Lola, which is rubbish. I just included Lauren Child because she's one of the most popular children's writers at the moment.

Dr. Seuss is the best to read aloud. Try it.

I agree totally about Dr Seuss. It's fun for the reader as well as the er... readee(?).

Danny Himself · 08.22.2006, 10:09 AM

Meg and Mog. Hahaha. I picked Seuss though.

Pookie · 08.22.2006, 02:54 PM

Yes, I post from work. I'm at home every Wednesday, so tomorrow we're going for a picnic in the park.

Thanks for the tip. I work in a bookshop, but I'd never heard of Laura Numeroff. I'll have to check them out.
