  1. I wonder whether the little boy 'me' is actually the author Anthony Browne when we was a little boy. Maybe the book is based on Anthony Brownes childhood memories...

  13. I think that Harry has been to a party and he got lots of sweets and chocolate. I also think that Mum has been annoyed with Dad, Harry and his brother because Dad keeps on cracking jokes what were not funny and the two boys kept on fighting.

  25. I think the Dad is very bossy because when the children asked for the chocolate he said no. I think in the story Harry was sneaky because he hit his brother and got away with it.
