School sensibly held World Book Day today... Zog, Fidens Nighthand and Short Beef (a robot superhero from a comic Emlyn wrote himself).
Three boys (9 years, 6 and 4) dressed up for world book day in a robot costume, Fidens Nighthand, a rugged sailor from Impossible Creatures and Zog, an orange dragon.
