In case the prestigious award depicted above does not convince you of this, I am going to share a story that I wrote not long after receiving the award.
The Adventures of Tigger
Once Tigger went on a holiday in India and fell into a volcano. He climbed up and slid down the edge. Then he went to have his lunch. He had 900 million chocolate bars.
The next day he went back into the volcano. There was a snow storm. He flew in. He went to sleep. When he woke up he was trapped in ice. He flew over it and went back to the beach. Whaley was there. "Where's Sealy?" he asked. Whaley said she was shopping. When she came back Spouter was with her. Then Sssst and Ish and Dolphy and Ducky Wucky and Lambi Appleback came. Then the whole family was there.
Tigger told them his story. Sealy gave Tigger 100 million chocolate bars!!! He grew very big. he ate them all at once!!! She gave the others ten chocolate bars! They found lots of leaves and made a bed. Tigger got a nice new safety collar. It was blue. If you fell down from flying it would bounce you back up.
Tigger made some holes. They had a big one and a little one each. The big one was for living in and the little one was for sleeping in. It was Autumn. They got ready for the big long Winter. They all went out. They all got a blanket.
Sealy knitted a picture each. They sewed them onto their blankets so they didn't get mixed up. They all put their blankets in a bed.
The next day it started snowing. Tigger bought a water-proof blanket and put it on top of all the holes. Tigger went to get some warm water. He poured some into Whaley's bed. Then he poured some into Sealy's bed. Then he poured some into Dolphy's bed. Then he poured some into Ish's bed.
He filled a jar with snow and took it to the volcano. He poured it inside. He climbed in. It erupted. He flew out in a rage!!! He turned head over heels!!!........ and flew up to the moon!!! He landed on an astronaut!!! He got such a fright that there was a tiger on top of him that he suddenly leaned on the window and Tigger pressed the window opener. The astronaut fell out. Tigger pounced onto earth. "Whew!" he sighed.
He slept all Winter with the others. They had forgotten about him and gone to sleep. When they woke up Tigger couldn't get up. "Aha!" exclaimed Sealy. "So you went to bed late, did you? I'll give you some wake up juice." She gave him some quick wake up juice. He bounded out of bed and had his breakfast.
He dug a hole in the snow and went far away when he was warm enough. Then he went back making it deeper and deeper until it was as deep as the sea. Then he told them that there was a tunnel and they went in. Then they went to sleep.
In the morning it was Summer. They had slept for 3,000,000 days!! Tigger went for a swim in the sea when he remembered where he was. Then Sssst came and poisoned Whaley. Then Whaley died.
