First, good news (via Blog from the Windowsill, via² Jen Robinson) - Elizabeth Enright's Melendy family books are being republished.  In two days' time, apparently.  Little odd that there's no image available still, but ... Some of our most-loved books.  I could start throwing out favourite scenes and be here for ages - hope I'd be joined by everyone else.

Next up  - I'm sure I'm not the only parent to have read Jill Murphy's Five Minutes' Peace many times - for those who'd like to see a slightly different version of this story - with photographs, a crazy cat, and the Yarn Harlot's wonderful sense of humour - try this.  (You'll still get a laugh if you've never heard of the book. Or the Yarn Harlot.)

Finally, not a book-related item, AFAIK, though I bet someone could tell of a relevant picture-book: this knitting pattern.  Cute in a goofy way, but do many people really have the time to knit toilet rolls?
