Oscar Got The Blame

"Well again, this book is about an idea … or, rather a phrase. You must have come across this phrase as a mother, “I didn’t do it.” It’s the reply when you blame a naughty child for having done something. And again, the book does not offer a heavy lesson. It’s a unique way of writing about a subject that many families will have been faced with often enough. Yes. There’s an extra dimension to it. You know, there are so many books I can think of—it’s difficult to choose just five. I chose Oscar because it is a new way of talking about a subject—in this case behaviour—and that reading it makes children feel better. To make children laugh is important to me. I would say that laughter is my favourite subject. I mean, first to make them enjoy the book—and, ideally, make them laugh at the same time."
