Jamie O'Neill wrote about two, who were swimming, whereas Nick Hornby only wrote about one. William Sutcliffe's was new, Benjamin Zephaniah's was a refugee and Raymond Briggs' was a genius called Ug! Christine Nöstlinger's was made in a factory, Malorie Blackman's had the heart of a pig, while Doctor Who's kicked them. Patrick McCabe's was a butcher, Laura Ingalls Wilder's was a farmer, Jen Wojtowicz's grew flowers and, incredibly, Oliver Jeffers' ate books. What am I talking about?
