Michael Rosen in hospital

Hi Bluebelle, he is a children's author and good enough to have been the Children's Laureate from 2007-9. His version of 'We're all going on a bear hunt' might be his most famous book.

I knew that I shouldn't break in on the love fest.. ?

How very sad. He’s had enough tragedy in his life...

Everyone has a none too pleasant side to them - posting your comment on this thread Maizie could be seen as an example of yours

I have a bear in the window but haven't seen any children

Hmm.

Several years ago I crossed swords with Rosen on a number of forums about a specific issue. There is a not too pleasant side to him as well.

But I do hope he recovers. He has made a big contribution to all sorts of areas of literature and thought.

I had been following his suffering on Twitter - he was very ill and I kept shouting virtually that he should ring 999.

Anyone seen his poem to the NHS?

A man of the people. I’m sure he will pull through

Oh no ☹️ I didn’t know this. Met him lots of times via work. A lovely, lovely man. On my prayer list.

I found this very worrying. What an intelligent, interesting man he is. I heard him on the radio a few weeks ago talking about how strange it was to be considered elderly at 73. He was very chipper. It did hit home to read he was so ill.

I wish him well but don’t know who he is ?

Wishing him well, a sincere and genuine human being.

Hope he pulls through - he has given so much pleasure to children (and adults!) through the years. DGS was telling me today (via Amazon Echo) that he had put one of his teddy bears in the window for younger children to do their "We are going on a bear hunt". He had to explain to me what was going on as I hadn't heard about it and not walking past many windows at the moment!

Best wishes to Michael, get well soon ???

Everything crossed for him here as well ??

Fingers crossed from me, too ...
