Media today 31

Reading: David Macaulay, Das große Mammut-Buch der Technik, p. 32-33 (water wheels and turbines); Roger Hargreaves, Mister Weihnachten and Miss Weihnachten. 

I read about water wheels and turbines to J and the piggies while J was taking a bath and playing with this toy:

J really liked these Hargreaves stories because, besides being Christmas-themed, they each featured numerous characters from the other books doing their typical schticks. When Mister Wirrkopf accidentally labeled his gifts with "Happy Easter," J laughed so hard he just about fell off the bed.

Listening: Roald Dahl, Sophiechen und der Riese, 2:53-3:13. 

This section had a funny sentence from the BFG J wanted to hear several times: "Was ist denn das für ein Wickel-Wackel-Klipper-Klapper-Stuhl? Ich sitze wie ein Floh auf dem Klo im Büro hier oben!"
