Flour Babies
Flour Babies | Anne Fine
2 posts | 8 read | 1 to read
Let it be flour babies. Let chaos reign. When the annual school science fair comes round, Mr Cartwright's class don't get to work on the Soap Factory, the Maggot Farm or the Exploding Custard Tins. To their intense disgust they get the Flour Babies - sweet little six-pound bags of flour that must be cared for at all times.

Mehso-so

A very British coming of age story, I did enjoy this book but felt that it wouldn't resonate with modern readers, it was very of it's time.

Lucy_Anywhere What a blast from the past! I remember reading this in school 5y

OSChamberlain Idk... That sack looks frisky 😏 8y
BookishFeminist @LeahBergen 😱 oh, shit. 8y
BookishFeminist @OSChamberlain 😂😂😂 everything looks frisky to you 8y
OSChamberlain Uhhhh no. Even @LeahBergen said it! 8y
BookishFeminist @OSChamberlain 😂 I'll let you dream of the flour sack then tonight since you left me with some tempting images of Howard Stern. You know you just want to pull that apron's drawstring slowly. 8y
OSChamberlain @BookishFeminist oh yeah! I just wanna get that flour, mix it with my eggs and bake some cookies 😉💦 8y
OSChamberlain I'm sure I'm missing some ingredients there but i don't know how to bake. 8y
BookishFeminist @OSChamberlain Just as well I don't know how to bake either 😂 8y
OSChamberlain Lmao you get my point 😂 8y
LeahBergen You forgot the sugar (but say it sexy) @OSChamberlain 😂 8y
BookishFeminist @LeahBergen 😂😂 how could he forget the sugar?! And just when I thought this cover would not qualify for #LitsyAfterDark, I'm proven wrong 8y
OSChamberlain @LeahBergen I eat pineapple so the sugar comes at the end 😜 8y
OSChamberlain And I've officially crossed into #LitsyAfterDarkXXX. LMAO 8y
BookishFeminist @OSChamberlain 😐😐🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 8y
BookishFeminist @OSChamberlain Jesus Christ I'm not even sure why I post anymore when you're awake 😂 8y
OSChamberlain Because I offer family friendly entertainment, duh 8y
LeahBergen Oh, God!! @OSChamberlain 😂😂😂 8y
OSChamberlain @LeahBergen 😏😏😏 8y
Zelma @OSChamberlain I may have to rethink an invitation to dinner with your family. 😱😬😋 8y
BookishFeminist @LeahBergen Right?! Like that got REAL. @OSChamberlain you didn't need to take all the hints from your poetry professor. 😂 8y
BookishFeminist @Zelma Hahaha no kidding! I don't want to know what not family friendly entertainment looks like 😬😬😬 8y
OSChamberlain @Zelma @BookishFeminist Hahahaa that's right I never told you guys I told her on Tuesday that I read her poetry! 8y
LeahBergen Oh no! Please don't mention poetry. I don't think any of us can take any @OSChamberlain pineapple poetry 8y
LeahBergen @OSChamberlain And was she titillated?! 8y
BookishFeminist @LeahBergen 😂😂😂 8y
OSChamberlain @LeahBergen Hahahaa you can say that. I waited until the class cleared and when I told her she clapped her hands together and gasped. She was genuinely surprised and excited that a student read her work. 8y
LeahBergen @OSChamberlain I just BET she was! 😏 8y
OSChamberlain @LeahBergen bow chicka wow wow 😜 8y
quirkyreader This book came through work a few months ago. 8y
Laura317 Did you not have flour babies in school? As part of the curriculum LONG ago, kids all had to carry a flour baby around - like a real baby. I think it was meant to scare us away from teen pregnancy, but all it did was make huge messes in the hallway when someone dropped their flour baby while juggling books. 😂 8y
BookishFeminist @Laura317 We had egg babies! I know what flour babies are but this cover though and having a whole book about them is utterly ridiculous that I nearly died laughing when I saw this 😂😂 8y
Laura317 @BookishFeminist Apparently, from what I read in the book review, flour babies are like mini psychologists. Who knew? 😜 8y
CanadianMrs Ha! We had sugar bag babies. Had a friend who failed because her "baby" got infested by ants. 8y
BookishFeminist @CanadianMrs 😳😬😬 now that is not a normal baby problem to have 🐜 8y
GirlNamedJesse God, I think there's still a copy in our kid's section. Time to weed the library again! ⛏🤓 8y
acg Anne Fine! I was really into her books when I was about 9-10. The Tulip Touch was my favorite book for a while 8y
Jenshootsweddings I really think this one wins 8y
RealLifeReading Oh this is amazing 8y
[DELETED] 1409720085 This feels familiar... 8y
BookishFeminist @Laura317 Hahaha that is something I didn't think a sack of flour would be capable of, but who am I to judge 😂 8y
BookishFeminist @GirlNamedJesse 😂😂 weed like the wind! Does it have the same cover? LOL 8y
BookishFeminist @emilydecato Did you have a flour baby too in high school? 😂 8y
BookishFeminist @seekingthespheres I've never read her! New to me when I saw this book. Worth revisiting? 8y
BookishFeminist @Jenshootsweddings @RealLifeReading Right?! 😂 I really just don't even know where to start with this book 8y
[DELETED] 1409720085 No, my high school had dolls that cried and stuff but I never took home ec. Pretty sure I read that book though. 8y
BookishFeminist @emilydecato 😧 do you remember liking the book? 8y
GirlNamedJesse @BookishFeminist Yes! Why the flour sack is wearing a dress (?) I'll never understand. 😂 8y
[DELETED] 1409720085 If I read it I was probably in 4th grade so I have no concrete memories just that the cover is very familiar. 8y
