I love Julia Donaldson’s books as much as the next kid, especially The Gruffalo in Scots and The Highway Rat.

As well as being a Writer she is also a thing called a Children’s Laureate. Well she was until yesterday. Now there’s going to be a new one.

I do hope it’s someone else like Julia who writes about animals and beasts and bears and stuff, not some silly person who just writes about fairies.
