Luca told me he and Zig were having a book party in the rocket tent.

Awesome, I thought, a book party! I'm raising little readers. Perhaps they'll dissect the underlying themes in Spot Goes To School or debate Goldilocks – villain or neglected child?

Now I'm not saying that a book didn't get read during the 'party'…

…but from my perspective, the book party seemed to involve throwing every book they own into the tent, jumping up and down on them for two minutes and then running off to cause chaos elsewhere.

Ah, it's the thought that counts.
