To and Fro
Long ago, I bought an old rocking horse for my children. He needed a new coat of paint and a new mane and tail. We called him Rattles because when they rode him, something rolled about inside and made a rattling noise.
Rattles now lives with one of my grand-daughters in a little terraced house, in an old street surrounded by huge new skyscrapers.
That’s what gave me the idea for To and Fro which is aimed at 4-7 year-olds – best read aloud at bedtime.
