I WANT TO BE LIKE MUNGO

I don't really - but I want to be WITH Mungo, and luckily for the moment Tots and I are visiting Iseult (Mungo, really).



His wonderful competition I WANT TO BE LIKE MUNGO is closed. Tottie and I entered (twice) but both entres were very poor. But what else could they be? How could anyone be like him...

I'm looking forward to seeing who won, if any one reached the required standard, but most of all, I'm looking forward to Mungo's new book.

It will be out soon so don't forget to pre-order!

A WONDERFUL EVENT

Today, such a wonderful thing happened that I have to let you know the details.

Tottie and I were upstairs reading some of the wonderful words that the most fantastic writer has written (I was reading Mango, and Tottie was reading Leaf) when Mummy Valerie called us downstairs. She was on the pc, hogging the internet as usual. Then she said "Guess who's on-line at the moment?"

I thought it was Mummy Iseult. Tottie suggested the Pope.

We were both wrong!

Can you guess?

If you guessed Dean Koontz, Garth Nix or Darley Anderson, you're wrong! It was someone much much much much much better... MUNGO!!!

Yes, he wanted to speak to us, to encourage us, to be kind to us... *** SIGH ***

Isn't he wonderful!

LAST FEW PHOTOS

Here are a few more photos I managed to get hold off from that wonderful day:

Here's a lovely photo of Mummy Iseult with Mungo, my wonderful hero!

Better still is Tottie and me - and Mungo's wonderful new book "Mango"!

Best of all - the author spends a little time with Tottie, me and Miss Monkey!

MANGO: THE UNLUCKY MONKEY

I have just finished reading Mango: The Unlucky Monkey non-stop since the wonderful book launch... It's so BRILLIANT! It's really hard to put down.

I am going to catch up on my sleep now (but I know I'll be dreaming of the jungle and Leaf and Jewel and Mango and Cotty and Rainbow and all the others...)

Before I go, here are a few pics I meant to post before:

Details of the fabulous I WANT TO BE LIKE MUNGO competition (as if anyone could!) But I think everyone should enter!

Tottie watching over copies of the book during the book launch (wait til you see her for Tottie: The Demon Rabbit Slayer - she'll be packing a lot of armour that day!)

One of my favourite photos from the day!!!

MORE ON THE BOOK LAUNCH

Just want to post a few photos to show everyone what a wonderful day it was - then I'm back to read Mango again!

I hope they make a film of it. I wonder who will play the leading roles???

Tottie is standing guard on the door before Mungo's brilliant new book is launched - with one ear flopping over her eye, she looks like Cotty, doesn't she????

The wonderful author of Mango: The Unlucky Monkey and my hero! How handsome he is... *** Sigh***

Here he is again!!! With a copy of his new book before him, about to read from it and entertain and edify the huge crowd who have come to listen to Mungo...

And now he reads to us... (What a wonderful profile!)

This is a nice photo, isn't it? See how Mungo is looking after Tottie!

BLISS!

Hi everyone!

I haven't been able to post cos me and Tottie have been glued to Mungo's new book "Mango: The Unlucky Monkey." (She's very lucky really, cos Mungo has written about her!)

The book is : FANTASTIC! WONDERFUL! WARM AND ENDEARING! BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN! SUPER CHARACTERS... Everything Leaf was - but MORE!!

Mungo, you're the best!!!!

WHAT JOY!

Tottie and I had a really wonderful experience on Saturday - We saw MUNGO!

Even better, we talked and chatted to him, and spent quite a lot of time with him, especially in the evening when the conference was over.

Oh, it was at the DN Fight to Write conference! Mungo naturally was a guest speaker - he is king of the Nodpots after all! - and he got us jobs there so we could be with him to see him and hear him!

Sigh!! It was lovely....

Here are some photos. I was chief photographer, although other members of the team kept grabbing the camera off me.

Here we are, waiting for the conference to begin!

Doesn't he look handsome, sitting on his throne?

Don't we look great together???
