Six Dinner Sid

Product Information

Three years later, in a different house, they were finally able to have their own cat, or rather, the cat has them. There isn’t a catflap, and is near a main road, so they chose a housecat. No chance of a Sid setup with Noodles. Six Dinner Sid is considered a modern classic in children’s picture books. It has sold over 250,000 copies since it was published, is a Smarties Award winner, and is in the Daily Telegraph’s top 50 children’s books of all time. Inga Moore (1945 – present) is an Anglo-Australian author and illustrator of children’s books. As a child, she was very imaginative and drew all the time, illustrating her own stories but also her schoolbooks and homework. After her Latin teacher told her off for her ‘silly drawing’, she sadly stopped making art for a while. Instead of going to art school she worked in lots of boring, unimaginative jobs. But one day, while working in mapmaking, she had to draw some landscapes, and rediscovered her passion. She has also said that reading Father Christmas (1973) by Raymond Briggs was a turning point in her career, as she realised creating a picture book was a wonderful, inspiring thing to do. She began working as an illustrator and returned to England to recapture her childhood memories. During her time living in Hampstead she wrote Six Dinner Sid. Sid divides his time between six houses in Aristotle Street: six names, six personalities, and six dinners.

[10]Once upon a time, more than 20 years ago, my toddler introduced an imaginary friend: a cat called Sitty.

A sly commentary on the atomisation and breakdown of traditional social cohesion in urban communities that possibly also contrasts Aristotle and Pythagoras as philosophical and social role models in the form of a children's picture book. 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. Six-Dinner Sid has also been reviewed by The Canberra Times, [3] Publishers Weekly, [4] School Library Journal, [5] Horn Book Guides, [6] Five to Seven, [7] and Magpies. [8]

Years later, when my cat-loving child moved to a shared house with uni friends, a cat they dubbed Shia LaFluff often came in through the window. Wary of creating a Sid situation, they offered cuddles, play, and water, but never food. Leone McDermott. "Six-Dinner Sid". Booklist. American Library Association . Retrieved 23 September 2021. We found friends who might offer the cats a new home, and took them round at time the cats were normally home. We knew Pippa had not been seen for a few days, but food was going, and Katie presumably wasn’t eating all of it.Because the residents don’t talk to each other, they don’t realise. But when they do find out, they’re furious. So Sid moves to Pythagoras Place, where people chat with their neighbours, so they know he’s a six-dinner cat, 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.
