We often turn our lounge room into a playground for the dolls - with steps, slides, bouncy bridges, trampolines ... When my oldest was a baby I use to make big mountains out of the sofa cushions to climb over and tunnels to climb through but we haven't done that for years. I think she'd enjoy it. I like how you followed it up with a drawing to help retell it to Dad. My authors to save - Patricia Cornwell - not sure what she'd be like for company but I do enjoy her forensic detective novels. And a kids author Mem Fox - not so much for her children's story but she's a wonderful advocate for reading good quality literature to children and putting children first. Check out this article. http://www.memfox.com/like-mud-not-fireworks.html Also if you have a chance on her website it has her reading some of her stories. Oh what fun.
