As I my have mentioned, I was obliged to read Six Dinner Sid this summer, since then my niece has come into possession of it's sequel -note not called Seven Dinner Sid or Son of Sid. The niece has reached a stage in her development that makes me laugh until I cry - the liberal use of the word 'no', so when I suggested to her that we read some stories, her answer was 'no, stories!' instead she preferred to watch me brush my teeth, I had never considered that me brushing my teeth would be more interesting than reading a story, but there you go - it is not like I have one tooth like a Narwhal that requires careful and attentive cleaning. The silo mentality of the inhabitants of Aristotle street is exploited by the eponymous cat to score six dinners every day - at some psychic cost as he must remember six distinct names and identities, but the illustrations show him becoming pleasingly plump at the end of the day so the stress of performing the different roles required of him does not seem too overwhelming but perhaps that stress does precipitate the cough that exposes the dangers of the Aristotelian approach to life and brings to an end one phase of Sid's heroic life, dedicated to the pursuit of life, liberty and six dinners a day and the rejection of the bourgeois anthropocentrism of the Aristotelians.
