Nothing to do with reading; try bromide

You've got a cheek. You eat children for breakfast. My kids are too old for your book. I entered the competition before because I thought I could give the book to my youngest daughter's primary school, but now she is in secondary and I don't work with schools any more, so I really don't know. I...
