littlun

I'd always intended to move down when my littlun - Christopher - started playing, but the decision still wasn't an easy one.

So let's hear from that littlun who talked about a beast and perhaps we can show him how silly he is.

Ralph held out his hands for the conch and the littlun sat down.

In the next shelter a littlun was talking in his sleep.

Piggy arrived, out of breath and whimpering like a littlun.

Sometimes a littlun cried out from the other shelters and once a bigun spoke in the dark.

We watch Roger throwing stones at a littlun called Henry.

"Use a littlun," said Jack, and everybody laughed.

There was a blink of bright light beyond the forest and the thunder exploded again so that a littlun started to whine.

It is first mentioned by a "littlun," and the notion is immediately dismissed by Ralph.

The littlun shook his head stubbornly.

The littlun went on howling.

If Piggy were to come back now out of the water, with his empty head--Ralph whimpered and yawned like a littlun.

It was the howl of a terrified littlun who has finally glimpsed the beast from the water, the beast from the air. '

A littlun howled, creased and crimson, by the bathing pool and Piggy stood on the platform, the white conch gripped in his hands.

For a littlun he was self-confident, holding out his hands, cradling the conch as Ralph did, looking round at them to collect their attention before he spoke.

The littlun Percival had early crawled into a shelter and stayed there for two days, talking, singing, and crying, till they thought him batty and were faintly amused.

"The Vicarage, Harcourt St. Anthony, Hants, telephone, telephone, tele--" As if this information was rooted far down in the springs of sorrow, the littlun wept.

Of course the best gift is unanimously a heartfelt message from your littlun, so make sure whatever you give is accompanied by a card (in their very best handwriting).

Now they can carry Maurice Sendak's classic artwork with them wherever they go (and probably some marking, too) with this tote bag; even better if your littlun's a fan.
