Not sure I have a particularly favourite one, but a great one that isn’t covered much is Dynamite and Davey by @steven_bell1985 Absolutely tremendous book.

When I asked Bret Hart if he’d like to draw one of his famous cartoons for BIG DADDY VERSUS GIANT HAYSTACKS, he replied: “Black and white or color?” 📕🔗: amzn.eu/d/088RTYui

Bruno has taken great interest in my latest book. When asked what character he wanted to dress as for World Book Day, he said “Giant Haystacks!” Proud moment seeing him excited to take one of my own books into school. “Smile Bruno…” “Giant Haystacks doesn’t smile!”
