One of my television songs, A Squash and a Squeeze, was made into a book in 1993, with illustrations by the wonderful Axel Scheffler. Axel and Julia have now collaborated together for over 20 years and remain one of the most creative partnerships in the Children's books world, drawing comparisons to Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake.

The book is short, simple and uses great illustrations to make the book fun and engaging for the reader.

Full of Donaldsons classic rhymes, the lift the flaps book really engaged Bud and he likes looking under each flap as a new clothing item turns up until, finally, a rather dapper looking Fox is ready for his day complete with bow tie and straw boater. We want a song about throwing crumpled-up wrapping paper into the bin” was a typical request from the BBC. You see, he has an event to get to, and it is imperative that he is fully dressed, replete with a bow tie.I used to memorise poems as a child and it means a lot to me when parents tell me their child can recite one of my books. In spite of all these unanswered questions, the story of Fox's socks is fun and has a satisfying conclusion. Did I read this book just because it's the 26th of december, I'm behind on my Goodreads challenge, and I figured I would be able to read it within thirty seconds?
