At the hotel in Frankfurt there was a publishing convention and every room was taken, parties all night. I didn’t know there were so many book publishers in the world.

Unfortunately it was too crowded and I never did find them.

I wasn't sure about keeping this passage in the book - so wordy and weird for a 5 year old reader! But a) I think it's funny and b) how else to subtly introduce the little ones to Jenny Holzer's Inflammatory Essays?
