ari had a middle of the night tummy ache… which resulted in a large bubble bath at 4am whilst reading this book… i love this book.. it is all about shops too… so perhaps that is why I have ended up a shop-keeper.
The illustrations are by Raymond Briggs.. and the story by Elfrida Vipont.
It is a WONDERFUL book!
xx mikes
ps… still a few places left for embroidery night… see previous post!



Oh my goodness that book just brought a whole heap of memories of my childhood flooding back – I havent seen it for years but so loved it as a child.
Only recently discovered your blog – looking forward to more.
Poor Ari, lucky he has such a great Mum!
