Adrian’s main concerns were similar to my own. He might be put into a children’s home because his mother is too busy reading Germaine Greer, having sex with a neighbour and being an alcoholic to serve up decent meals. Laughing with him, I felt my past was OK, and we could all be forgiven. The only book that’s ever literally made me fall out of bed laughing is Towards the End of the Morning by Michael Frayn. I read it when I was about 26 and working on an old Fleet Street newspaper very like the one described in the novel.

And the most important thing is that we mind about them. Great comedy isn’t heartless – far from it. When we laugh at its protagonists, we also laugh at ourselves. I’m 68, but there’s still a part of me who’s an 11-year-old crashing around the countryside, unwittingly causing mayhem from often the best intentions. The judging panel consisted of Head Judge and long-time Lollies ambassador, Michael Rosen, illustrator Anita Mangan, authors Ella McLeod and Steven Butler, assistant head-teacher, Rani Tiwana and Scholastic Book Club Manager, Su Inglis. Whilst the judges selected the shortlist, the winners of the awards are decided entirely by children’s votes. This year over 11,000 votes were cast. Children, parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, teachers, carers - we’re all on the hunt for books that the children in our lives will enjoy. ‘I know,’ we say to ourselves, ‘I’ll find a book that’ll make them laugh, a book that’ll make them giggle...ah, I remember that when I was a child.’ But where? How? Where are this year’s funny books? a b "Kevin Hart's Laugh Out Loud Announces Promotions, New Hires". Variety. 2020-10-14 . Retrieved 2020-11-14.
