He’s bound to have said something! 

[AnonyMouse_26037]

This is from my sister  - I don’t have the answers and I’ve previously explained how not good I am at this kind of thing. Apparently they’re all children’s books...

 

[AnonyMouse_19762]

2. The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe?

5. Green eggs and ham?

6. Winnie the Pooh?

10. Paddington Bear? (is that a marmalade sandwich?)

 

[AnonyMouse_7120]

1- Wind in the willows?

7. Charlotte’s Webb

8 cloudy with a chance of meatballs

3 Billionaire boy

9 curious george?

[AnonyMouse_26037]

See you lot are good at this!!  I just kept thinking along the lines of a combination of Goldilocks/3 little pigs for number 7 and couldn't figure out where a spider came in to it!

So, by my reckoning the only one missing is number 4?

So it is! When I was fourth year juniors we did our register by numbers - guess what number I was... Do you think it’s a sign?! 😧

[AnonyMouse_19782]

think I know what 4 is, but as I have come late to the party, I will let you all carry on.

Oh no - tell us please

[AnonyMouse_8282]

I haven't a clue . Every time I came with an answer, someone else answer - only knew about five though.

 

[AnonyMouse_19782]

I think it's Goodnight Moon

 

although I agree,  No. 6 is Pooh Bear, why are the icons the wrong way round?

Go with that!  I've never heard of it!

How about this... which books are these the opening sentences (or part sentences) of?

1. It is a truth universally acknowledged...

2. Once there was a fish and...

3. Last night I dreamt I went to...

4. All children, except one, grow up.

5. There was no possibility of taking a walk that day.

6.  It was a bright, cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen.

7.  When a day that you happen to know is Wednesday starts off by sounding like Sunday, there is something seriously wrong somewhere.

8. Once upon a time, there were four little rabbits...

9. The first place that I can well remember, was a large pleasant meadow with a pond of clear water in it.

10. "Where's Papa going with that axe?"

 

PS I tried to make 4. easy!

Believe it or not I don’t think I’ve ever actually read Winnie the Pooh. I did google for some ideas for this, and scanned my bookshelves but only picked books I’ve actually read.

1.pride and prejudice.

That’s right! Have repeated the missing ones above so they’re to hand. 7 is an adult’s fiction book, 10 is children’s.

Yes! How did you get that one? I thought it was really hard!

[AnonyMouse_8282]

My brother made me read it  years ago - he loved the book, and it always on the side in his house  

[AnonyMouse_26037]

It's one of my favourites too but I don't know the first line - I was pulling a selection off my shelf and seeing which had opening lines which I thought gave a clue but not too much of a clue!

OK, only number 10 left - I think this is one of my favourites!
