TEA AND BISCUITS

Once Wilson had completed his examination of Calendars and Children's Books we sat down in the café to review what we had learned.

I drew Wilson's attention to the fact that all the calendars on display were marked down to half price, because they were a very seasonal product which, if not sold quickly, immediately lost most of their value.

On the other hand, as one of W's friends has pointed out, maybe the Anteater Calendars were so popular that they'd all sold out — in which case there wasn't a gap in the market at all.

W conceded that while calendars could do with more investigation, children's books were always in high demand — to which end he's bought a copy of That's Not My Cow for research purposes while designing his own book That's Not My Anteater.

'If That's Not My Anteater is a success,' Wilson explained, 'I will consider expanding my publishing empire with The Very Hungry Anteater and possibly even The Anteater Who Came To Tea.'

I hope the publishers of the original books don't hear about this and get a bit cross...
