The Snugglewump

Description

Ages 3 to 6 years "They all forgot the Snugglewump who listened as it lay, then sighing flopped onto the floor and snugglewumped away." Molly's toys are arguing one day about which of them is loved best. As they list their many amazing qualities they forget about the Snugglewump. The Snugglewump, which is a comfort blanket, drifts out of the window through the town wondering what it's like to be loved and not forgotten. The next day Molly finds it and hugs the Snugglewump tightly and it finds out it is loved.

Lou has been writing since she could pick up a pencil and spent her childhood making little books of stories and rhymes. She is thrilled to be doing the same thing now and calling it her job! She got the idea for Professor McQuark and the Oojamaflip when the word 'oojamaflip' popped into her head, just like it did into Professor McQuark's. She loves writing in rhyme and will spend days searching for the right word, often muttering aloud to herself as she walks her dog. Lou lives with her husband, teenage children, soppy dog and erratic cat. She keeps a blog sharing resources and tips with aspiring authors, and also enjoys writing stage plays and musicals.
