Omnibombulator
Illustrated by Peter Kavanagh
(Young Corgi)
978-0552527996, RRP £4.99, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
Omnibombulator, yet another new character from Dick King-Smith, is a very little beetle with a very big name. Dick King-Smith (of Babe, the Sheep-Pig fame) is so prolific, one is almost afraid that the magic of his appeal can't be sustained but it seems he has an inexhaustible supply. The Kavanaghs' drawings capture the humour and quirkiness of this story perfectly. What more can one say - except get hold of a copy right away!
