That was in 1983 and we've been looking for it in childrens' bookshops ever since. Everyone with children should have a copy of this and I'm overjoyed to be able to order it for mine - nearly 20 years since I last read it. This is a truly memorable book and to this day, I still can't look at maple syrup pancakes without smiling and thinking of them smothering the ChewandSwallow school. Happy days are here again...
