This is a simple story that sets a fun game going, leaving us to carry that game on with what we see in the illustrations, and then into our own lives.
A child is bored, so starts naming things - a magpie, a tree, a butterfly, a cat -, giving grand and fun names such as Diamond Dodger and Sapphire Princess.
'Everything, everyone, needs its own name!
A wonderful name!
A Beautiful name!
A perfectly gorgeous,
Surprise-me-please name!'
But the girl herself is given no name in the book. So I hereby name her Nancy the Fancy Namer.
A lovely book to share and expand into children's own worlds and imaginations.
