All About Me
For my 100th review with Ciao, I thought I'd do something different and after considering various options and ideas, decided to write this piece. I hope readers won't be too bored with the ramblings of a middle aged reviewer!!
In The Beginning
I was born in Folkestone, Kent on 19th June 1958, my Ciao name, Brittle1906 reflects my birth date, so no surprises there!
I was an only child, but have a large extended family of cousins and aunts, my youngest aunt is only 6 years older than me, so although I was an 'only' I was rarely lonely as a child. My parents both worked for the Post Office full time, so I spent much of my early life with my grandmother and my aunts, giving me the best of both worlds, an only child at home and the youngest of a large family at grandma's.
My childhood was a happy one, I was fortunate ...

All In One Piece by Jill Murphy
*I thought that I would review this children's book, as a tribute to all those parents who understand just how difficult it is, to get ready for a rare night out.*
***What's it all about?***
Well, this is another in a series of books about the Large family - a family of elephants and the evening when Mr and Mrs. Large get to venture out, to the office-dinner dance. Of course the children can't go and so grandma comes to babysit. Granny arrives at tea time and the children are bathed and ready for bed. Granny lets them do some painting, whilst mum and dad go upstairs to get ready in peace. However?
Luke watches his dad shaving and ends up getting the foam on his trunk. Dad tells him to go away. Whilst Mrs. Large is concentrating on doing her hair and make up, she doesn't see baby ...
