and then Fin sits there scrunching the paper, giggling and sticking his head inside the box.
I mean, he loves them all now, but I saw the same reaction from all our family giving him presents too - they get all psyched-up about how much he's going to love their carefully chosen gifts. Every present (bar the teddy) he was more interested in the box and/or wrapping paper. How hard is it to buy gifts for a toddler? We got him this book, some soap/crayons that you can draw with in the bath that wipe off, some foam letters which stick to the wall when wet (another bath toy) a giant teddy bear and a toddler laptop (so he stops trying to steal the adult computer). Fin (my 18-month old son) loves that one very much, so we decided to get him the original for Christmas. We started with Meg on the Moon because I'm a sci-fi geek. I've commented before on how hard it is to review picture books like this - I mean, by the time I've got into my flow here I'll have used more words than are contained within this entire book.
MEG AND MOG HALLOWEEN SERIES
In addition to the MEG AND MOG series, Helen has a long and varied association with Puffin - as editor of the Junior Puffin magazine THE EGG from 1977 - 1979, as compiler of the popular children's poetry anthology POEMS FOR SEVEN YEAR OLDS AND UNDER, illustrated by Michael Foreman, and through her partnership with Puffin, the enormously popular series of Puffin Cover to Cover story tapes of which Helen is the Producer. The result is the immensely popular MEG AND MOG series. After working together for four years, they decided it was time to preserve their creativity in book form for future generations of children to enjoy. It was here, as Producer of the children's educational series WATCH, that she first met Jan Pienkowski. Helen Nicoll was a television producer with the BBC for many years. Helen Nicoll married Robert Kime in 1970 and they have one daughter and one son. She was educated at schools in Bristol Dartington Hall, Devon and Froebel Education Institute, London.
