Writing Exercises on Board Book Editions

Written entirely of lines, phrases and words from children's books, with one exception

Behind the door, I am in bed.
Sound, like a hand on the door,
I am trying to catch a lot of growing.
I see children looking at me, a son,
munching on a crisp apple, purple grapes,
with lots of teeth. More are coming.
What do you see baby boy?
Your fingers make a fist, but
your silly side comes through and through,
so I thump my chest, you giggle,
slap your hands on your knees.
Now clap your hands, yes, you can do it!
Busy wriggling feet, chubby knees,
book-books in both hands,
If your son asks for bread...
but you ask for books instead.
