After a busy day, Freddie settles down for a good night’s sleep, but this is interrupted by a series of short dreams about animals that seem to be getting bigger and bigger every time he falls back to sleep.

Grandad’s Shoes

How many pairs of shoes does your grandad have?

My grandad had more shoes than there are days in the week. I’m not exactly sure why he needed so many pairs of shoes but he never went barefoot, always wore shoes and was ready for any adventure. Sometimes he would get his indoor shoes mixed up with his outdoor shoes or sometimes he would forget he had four pairs of sneakers, so he bought another pair. He liked to take all his shoes on outings, some happy and some sad. Although my grandad has passed away, I will always have the memories of his shoes and the great adventures he and I had together.
