When Collins Big Cat said they would match Toby's £590 as and when he manages to raise the funds, there were squeals in this house. Well...yesterday, a big parcel arrived for Toby, and upon opening it, there was a spell of hushed, awed silence, followed by a long, drawn-out "wooooooooooooooow" (he's usually more eloquent ;)). The lovely, lovely people at Collins Big Cat have sent Toby books...and lots of them. I tried to get them all in the picture, but already had to go hunting through the house, because I found several hidden in his bed (yes, lights out was rather late yesterday). It is such a fantastic range (and I'm not saying that because we got a box of books!) - and several were immediately put to use for Toby's project. See the one bottom right? The "Pacific Island Scrapbook"? It's about Vanuatu! Yes, Vanuatu. Then there's one about Unusual Traditions, several about wild creatures, one about Captain Scott...and that's just the non-fiction ones (actually, just some of them). Anybody who knows Toby (and/or me, his Mum) knows that this household has something of an addictive relationship going on with books, so Toby truly is in 7th Heaven.

As far as fundraising is concerned, Toby is at £379.47 - which means £210.53 left to go before Collins Big Cat will match his ShelterBox: http://www.justgiving.com/writingtotheworld
