If You Read A Mouse A Story
It's time for another bedtime story, this time it's the original and best If You Give A Mouse A Cookie. Cookies and milk are required for watching this video.
Their Thoughts
DR. SKULLEY: I go to church, I'm a Christian. You don't know me, you're not God!
CLEO: Why is my dad involved in all these new adventures? I wish I knew from him and the BBC what happens next.
SIX: I'm really missing Sybil at the moment. March'd better start now, or there'll be a hole in my heart. Missing Sybil is like floating on a cold, clear ocean with no one to swim beside.
LUKE: I hate CBBC. It's racist, hateful and takes no prisoners. It hates autistic people, including our normal friend, Sybil. Why am I wasting away my life just for the need to be with her? I'll seriously unleash my werewolf claws on whoever's behind all this. I'll come back for you, Sybs, I promise.
RESUS: I'm so delicate, even my skin is the same way. I'm not able to cope anymore. I'm losing my sanity, and so are my friends. There's too much chaos. Where is her tranquil place of calm that is our street, our home?
Right here, on iPlayer. All we have to do now is wait until March.
Operation Ouch Cake Baking Time
In this week's Operation Ouch lab experiment, the doctors engage in a bake off! To celebrate, I will show you how to make the doctor's favourite types of cake.
https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/vanilla-cupcakes - I wanted to make these for Dr. Xand since he asked for the cupcakes one of the Ouch Patients baked in a 2019 episode of Operation Ouch.
https://cafedelites.com/best-fudgy-chocolate-cake/ - Since Dr. Ronx's favourite pancake topping is chocolate sauce, I thought I'd share this recipe for chocolate cake.
A New Approach To My Story
Inspired by Raymond Briggs' stories like The Snowman and Father Christmas and movies Fantasia and Fantasia 2000, I've decided to make my stories big, leatherbound books told through just beautiful pictures - images speak louder than words, you know, and I've decided to make the stories wordless, just like in 'Midwinter Night's Dream', a story from Shirley Hughes' 'Stories By Firelight'. I adore Midwinter Night's Dream because it's like a Fantasia segment you can read about - a boy discovers a mythical world outside his bedroom. I use music as my inspiration, so it's no wonder I decided to appeal to those who can't understand conflict resolution and mutual response. I'm also talking to autistic people who cannot talk, most people who cannot talk can't read, so writing my stories without words can immerse readers more into the stories.

We all know and love the Owl Babies, so, do you remember when it was told on Teletubbies?
