Is it a (clearly deeply unattractive in this case!) suggestion for a book, or a series of books?

David saw our first-born into the world, but sadly there were minor complications with the second, so she was born in hospital - not such a positive experience.<br /><br />Re-bookbirth. For me, it's knowing that the end of the process is nigh, that the world and the people I've been living with must now go out into the real world and be judged, and finally the bookbaby itself.

It's something I've always said and felt about the pleasure of welcoming a newly-published book like a new-born baby. The trouble is, as a man and 3-times-present-at-births father, I know very well I have little right to make the comparison myself.<br /><br />Oh, and even though those babies I saw arriving are now middle-aged, I can still recite by heart Dr Seuss's Yertle the Turtle and quite a lot of A A Milne.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345949773423764808noreply@blogger.com
