So what’s the plan for book week this year?
There are a few options. Most likely for the Miniest Peeler is some kind of mad hatter/Willy Wonka character (possibly a confused mashup of the two) especially as we already have a top hat and purple silk waistcoat. For the Elder Minipeeler we now have in our possession a big Garfield plushy, (purchased with pocket money) so they will go as Jon Arbuckle which would enable relatively normal clothes to be worn and the plushy to go to school as the accessory. One was going to go as Jesus but decided against it because it might cause offence. Costumes were thin on the ground this year, with heaps available for very little children who want to be princesses or superheroes and very little else.
Jesus. That’s adorable.
