The Snail and the Whale
Gordon Brown, the prime minister to be of the UK, is a very bookish person. Yesterday, he appeared on BBC Radio’s Open Book programme and revealed his five favourite books. Will we see him carry particular books around with him? Something George Bush tends to do?
The PM-in-waiting’s selections included The Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler - clearly a choice from a father who reads at bedtime. I’d also like to recommend Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson - it’s a very easy-to-read book that my four-year-old daughter loves.
