This has to be the most charming thing I’ve seen all week.

Don’t you just love the idea of a little girl in Brighton being inspired to draw all manner of things by the power of teh interwebz?
Here’s the list, which includes lots of bears dancing, a hedgehog party, and a monster, which has already been brought to life thus:
