Daughter's bed

So my 8 y.o. is sick, and wanted to sleep with her mum, which is fair enough especially when your own bed is a bunk bed and you have to climb a ladder to get into it.

(anyone want to buy a wooden bunk bed?)

I'm normally not in the habit of checking out my daughter's bed very closely, especially given that you have to climb a ladder to see it, but last night I had to sleep there, and discovered that she had started a library.

As well as Dave the Bear and a wrapper from a Starburst lolly, there were multiple piles of books.

I brought them down the ladder, and thought you might like a list of what I found.

Rudyard Kipling, Just So Stories.
Kate Forsyth, The Gypsy Crown.
Jughead's Double Digest Magazine.
Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton, The Bad Book.
Jean Little, Lost and Found.
Dan Pilkey, The Captain Underpants Extra-Crunchy Book O' Fun.
Paul Jennings, Round the Twist.
Paul Jennings, Uncanny.
Rachel Flynn, I Hate Fridays: Stories from Koala Hills Primary School.
Jacqueline Wilson, Vicky Angel.
Kate Forsyth, The Silver Horse.
The Kid-Builder Bible For Young Readers.
Emily Rodda, The Flower Fairies.
Joyce Lankester Brisley, Milly-Molly-Mandy's Adventures.
Joyce Lankester Brisley, Milly-Molly-Mandy's Family.
Joyce Lankester Brisley, Milly-Molly-Mandy's Schooldays.
Joyce Lankester Brisley, Milly-Molly-Mandy's Friends.
Paul Jennings, Quirky Tails.
Julia Donaldson, Crazy Mayonnaisy Mum.
Andy Griffiths, Just Stupid!

That's a lot to carry down a ladder when you just want to have a sleep!!
