I actually stole my copy from children! Yes, my charges at the kibbutz children’s house. Granted, they were all pretty much toilet trained when I got there, and since they are now all 33 years old, they probably know their way around a bathroom. I hope. Still, I feel much better having ‘fessed up.

My son always laughs when we get to the bit about the milk bowl, and the vase. He shakes his finger in the air and says “No-o.”

Karin – I also love Where the Wild Things are, and check out I Love You Blue Kangaroo, and Harry and the Robots – there’s some great books for children out there…
And don’t get me on the older books. I bought the Dark Materials series for my 10-year-old, and read them all at one go. And then there’s Eva Ibotsen, The secret of Platform 13 – better by far than the Harry Potter books…

Is it a milk bowl for the cat?

My son will occasionally ask me that, out of the blue.

I met Alona Frankel and sat with her in her living room in Tel Aviv near the Habima Theatre interviewing her for a story in the Jerusalem Post. She has a sensuous personality and such a special zest for life. She signed a copy of her potty book for me, which I have stored away in my bookshelf for one day when I have kids (B”S) and the need for potty training lit. Not wanting to part with it, I just bought a girlfriend of mine a copy for her daughter. It’s an essential for any parent. Also Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak.
