In keeping with recent news your title must be changed as not everyone will be able to feel 'happy', with the possibility of things like existing depression worsening through feelings of not being included.

I enclose a pamphlet to help with your re-write.

Are you allowed to just have "world"
Wouldn't this instil a feeling of exclusion to all the aliens out there?
We MUST form an action group IMMEDIATELY!

According to the BBC yesterday one in five children don't possess a book. That's really sad.

In the recent past, I have had to help the younger members of the family with their reading whilst stuck at home.
They are all excellent readers but, when asked about what they had read, they said they didn't know but hurried through the book to "get it over with"
I have a feeling they may not be readers in the future!

I wonder how many children read the classics like Little Women or The Water Babies? I'd guess very few.

A lovely book for the small people in your life, The boy the mole the fox and the horse . It’s delightful.

Alas, too much moralising in them for today's amoral generation.

The latter certainly featured in my childhood reading but not the former for some reason (post-Victorian sexism I suspect). I have of course read it since as it is one of the classics.
