THE ANTEATER WHO CAME TO TEA

Having briefly distanced himself from the problem of what to plagiarise next, Wilson's subconscious brain has up with an answer: The Anteater Who Came To Tea.

Although of course, a cute anteater turning up on one's doorstep might not cause quite the same alarm and panic as a hungry carnivore demanding food, it might nevertheless be a little… disconcerting.

I've read the original of this book a thousand times to my own children, and I enjoyed the very sympathetic animated adaptation over Xmas, so I was a little concerned about what Wilson would do with it – but actually he's done a really Bang-On job!

Sophie, her Father (still preoccupied with his beer), the night-time trip to the café, Sophie visiting the shops with her Mum to buy a big tin of Anteater Food in case the anteater ever returns – all have been handled very sympathetically.
