Photo A Day: World Book Day
Posted under Witterings
Presenting Fantastic Mr Bertie, dressed as Fantastic Mr Fox for World Book Day. His school asked that all the children come to school for WBD dressed as a Roald Dahl character. Initially he was keen on Badger from Fantastic Mr Fox, then he got stuck for a long time on Sophie from BFG before finally deciding on said Fantastic Fox himself.
Being a literal kind of child he insisted on a bow tie and was angling for a waistcoat too, as per Quentin Blake’s illustrations. He wasn’t that keen on the tail on his costume either since FMF loses his early on in the story. I was tempted to hack it off and leave a bloodied stump. But I’m not ‘that’ mean.
“I just LOVE books” said Bertie as he climbed in to bed with us this morning. Music to my ears.
How wonderful
