We know geese can be friendly, but most young kids find them intimidating, so why are there no recent picture books about cranky geese ...or are there any? #PB Seeking a comparison title for a query for a story. Sigh!

From another book I was shown in my early childhood instead of picture books - Illustrations of British Birds by H L Meyer, 1835, in monthly folders that I have now inherited. Hand coloured lithographs. Detail...

Dickens' desk. Essential items (left) two fat bronze sword fighting toads: bronze dog-fancier with little dogs in his pockets; long gilt leaf & rabbit sitting on its haunches; huge paperknife; green cup decorated with cowslips & filled with fresh flowers; calendar - correct date

My #PB story, THE GODFEATHER, has too many characters. The Godfeather and Fluff (gosling) stay, but which should I lose: Chris The Hiss, Beak Boy Roy or Scar-Feather Heather? And don't forget: unfortunate things happen to people with no goose-grub who stand on The Family's grass!

@OhKLind @mollykh Didn’t like Struwwelpeter as a kid. Read by mum, often, ?so I didn’t grow up a sloven. But I can still recite The Story of Little Suck-A-Thumb from memory. Struwwelhitler parody pub’d UK Daily Sketch newspaper to raise funds for clothes, bedding, boots & food for air raid victims

@literaticat Strewwelpeter when younger than 5. Hmmm. I can still recite The Story of Little Suck-A-Thumb from memory. Conrad's mother knows the Great Red-Legged Tailor will cut off her son's thumbs if he sucks them while she's out, but she still leaves him alone.

Herbert the tree-frog lived by a gate and he crept out each night at a quarter to eight. Picture book? Song? Began 2005, still working on it

@HUnderdown @kriswaldherr No, my leaves and flowers are not as tiny as those that William Morris painted

@DanielNayeri Way to travel! But my father had fun on this one, too:

A wild owl landed in our garden and sat on anyone's hand. 'Ollie the Lonely Owl' PB ms now completed. Publishable?
