Following on from the outstanding success of A Wayne in a Manger, Gervase Phinn has collected together his favourite stories about children from his bestselling Dales books, and has also included some poems from his popular Puffin poetry books.
In this humorously illustrated book, the stories have one thing in common - the wonderfully funny (and usually innocent) things that children say What makes Naomi's granny wobble? What's the secret ingredient in Richard's jam tartsf What is Billy's unconventional method for making babies?
Whether they are stories about children who cannot read very well but know the names of many breeds of sheep, or children who are more privileged (coming to school in a Wolls-Woyce), they are simply delightful. This heart-warming book will not only enchant you, it will make you look at life through a child's eyes -and that's quite a special thing.
GERVASE PHINN is a teacher, freelance lecturer, author, poet, school inspector, educational consultant and visiting professor of education - but none of these is more important to him than his family.
For fourteen years he taught in a range of schools,
then acted as General Adviser for Language Development in Rotherham before moving on to
North Yorkshire, where he spent ten years as a school inspector — time that has provided so much
source material for his books. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and an Honorary Fellow of St Johns College, York,
Gervase lives with his family near Doncaster. Vissza
