(Who has her own story book)
One of the authors to have featured most on Pen and Paper and if you were to see the excitement on the faces of the little bookworms when they knew a Sue Wickstead book awaited them you'd understand why.
With choruses of 'again' from the two youngest and a 👍👍 from the eldest of the little bookworms I think it safe to say we all enjoyed this book with its mix of silly jokes, new rhymes and the re-wording of classics such Little Bo Peep who alas couldn't get any sleep and the old woman who lived not in a shoe but, yes, you guessed, in a bus.
Its just as well that I like silly jokes as I've lost count of the number of times the youngest little bookworm has delighted in telling me {to say nothing of his friends, his friends' parents, his teacher, the teaching assistant, the list goes on} one of the jokes told in Daisy Daydream Bus Rhymes And Jokes ... for the sake of spoilers I won't repeat it here but instead will leave it up to you to read the book and see if you can guess.
But then its all worth it to see them enjoying a book so much, to see them recognise words and patterns; to identify and learn the meaning of new words.
Her stories relate to both her experiences as a teacher as well as her play-work adventures with a bus. The Playbus was a real double-decker bus full of toys, arts and crafts, as well as a lot of fun to play on.
When not writing Sue builds models with Lego (especially for her grandson), she loves spending quality time with her young grandson and enjoys creating models to share with him on his visits.
Her grandson features in the book ‘Barty Barton; the bear that was loved too much’ which was published in 2020. He also helps his Nanny Sue to sing along with a few of the rhymes sue has written.
Many of Sue’s books have been entered and shortlisted in ‘The Wishing Shelf Book Awards’, the book ‘A Spooky Tale’ was a silver medal winner in 2019. The story was written with her class in school.

Agree or disagree with me, all opinions are my own. No financial compensation was asked for nor given. Threats of violence towards my favourite teddy bear went unheeded as did promises of chocolate.
