I agree that a commentary on little rattle stilt would be interesting (particularly looking at stylistic / vocabulary choices, because writing from a little kid's POV must be one of the hardest things to pull off).

Also, I should tell you that I nearly sprained something laughing at your John/Captain Oates icon. The 'going outside' quote is well known in my family, and it's so apt for John! Is it gankable, and who should I credit?
