The tenth Katie book is published today, and although I have only one week now to complete Katie in Scotland and shouldn’t even be writing this, I felt I had to at least pause to celebrate the tenth Katie book being published. Katie will be properly celebrated with events at The National Gallery in London, at the Cheltenham Festival and at the British School in Paris this Autumn. So she won’t lose out. But for now… away with the Monet and it’s back to Nessie!

Mr. Mayhew:
A friend of mine who lives in London informed me the other day that her three-year old daughter can’t get enough of Katie and Ella, and that she refuses to go to sleep unless her mummy reads her one of your books. Further, she imagines herself to be Katie and believes that Ella Bella is her friend, albeit an imaginary one. I, being her godfather, think it’s cute.

Goodness! I had no idea I would cause such complications. But I agree – it’s cute and I’m glad the books bring pleasure…
Thanks J.R.D.

I’m following you back from your comment on my blog to say that I’m going to have to read more of your books to make up for lacking picture books in childhood.
Congratulations on writing ten children’s books.

Hi Erin,
Ha ha! Well, they’re not exactly Shakespeare either, but I do think that within the genre of Children’s books, there are some important works it would be a shame to miss out on!

I did read some– Six Dinner Sid, for example… and the Stinky Cheese Man… And… I can’t think of any others.
Which ones are important works I shouldn’t miss out on?
