Where Are You, Eddie? by @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social, illustrated by Gill Smith, is a beautifully personal book and a sensitive way of opening up difficult conversations about loss and grief with pupils. I can't begin to imagine how difficult it must have been to write.

🧵 1/2 When she was only 2, I shared this & @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social shared it! Today, we saw We're Going on a Bear Hunt & TTWCTT at our fave Lumiere in Romford. She was moved to tears, lamenting "Bear, Bear...". Fortunately MR was on hand: "I love MR, he's so funny...he's such a good actor!"...

We’ve had a lot of rhyming fun with this book by @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social and Helen Oxenbury. We all took turns to say our page aloud to turn it into our version of the story.

The book - Oh Dear, Look What I Got!

Helen Oxenbury

Pages in a jotter. A page of rhyming cut and stick. Then a child’s work. ‘I went to the shop to get me a phone. Oh Dear! They gave me a cone.’

I probably saw & enjoyed your episodes. I think I would have started watching Play School in about 1968-9, & it feels like my earliest TV memory. I loved it! The presenters were all so different from each other, yet so warm & likeable. Very fond memories of the programme, & later of Play Away too.
