    I think the word swell is vastly underused. And I love little Simon.

    Put a little sailor hat on Simon and a wheel in his hand and Simon is happy. A swell drawing.

    Cos Simon sells sea shells by the seashore.
    The shells Simon sells are surely seashells.
    So if Simon sells shells on the seashore,
    I'm sure Simon sells seashore shells?


    Phew! What a swelly welly day...

    Sighh.

    Oh dear, now Macabry is home-sick for the BVI's where he was vacationing. It's the sailing capital of the world. Lovely work, as always.

    I said it five times fast and sounded like Cindy Brady at her lisping best! Great twister and love the illustration is summer perfect (especially if we would have a summer)!

    Ooooo!=] My windows have been full of the site of our twenty five foot sailboat being prepared to be towed up to and launched for a few days of sailing up at Lake Champlain! Perfecto!!!

    I can't wait to show this to my husband and boys over coffee in a few hours. (middle of the night - back to bed I go - see you in the mornin'!)
