3. Story Time: Day 3

It’s the third day of my toy room story time, in honour of Children’s Book Week. I wondered if the novelty might wear off for my toy room friends – but they seem to be enjoying it. I asked my friend Sally for a story suggestion, and she lent me one of her favourites. It’s called Ca-a-r Ca-a-a-a-r, and it’s by a West Aussie called Geoff Havel, with illustrations by Peter Kendall. Sally said she loves it so much because it always brings a smile to her face.

Well, the toy room has never heard so much laughter. The little toys giggled and giggled, and Robbie Robot nearly blew a gasket eh was beeping and boinging so hard. I had to read it three times because they loved it so much – and on the third reading they all joined in. Then, when story time was over, you could hear little cries of ‘roof roof’ or ‘screech’ from around the toy room as different toys re-enacted their favourite bits.

What fun! I hope you are enjoying Book Week as much as we are here in the toy room.
