I must share with you a story I read today from Mick Inkpen I only bought it because it was buy one get one free!! cant remeber the exact title but it is about the Naughty Step!! umm and arred because ofcourse we dont use the word naughty in the setting listening to the chidlren most do infact have a'naughty step'!! It was one of those stories that you read and every sngle child pays attention almost holding their breath!! Their faces were delightful, the participation and thought was classical. I urge you to lend it or buy it you wont be sorry!!

I find our children use the word 'naughty' quite a lot especially when talking about other children or when engaged in role play. We don't either of course but I may give the book a go.....thanks Andreamay.
