Cover Story
This issue’s cover is from a stunning new picture book, Mary’s Secret by David McKee (Andersen Press, 0 86264 909 9, £9.99). An ecological fable about doing without cars, McKee’s story with its bright pictures full of well observed detail is set within Mary’s cheerful family and at her school. His bold, painterly illustrations use the page so confidently and dextrously that their quirky, decorative perspectives seem entirely natural. Thanks to Andersen Press for their help in producing this September cover.

Gangs & Bullies
I tried this one out on our school bully supremo who was mightily impressed. It is a well set out information book, with plenty of colourful pupil appeal. The fine-tuned information covers a wide variety of aspects and never seems preachy and patronising. If anything it is challenging, with thought-provoking newspaper quotes, celebrity contributions, things to find out and questions to ponder. Strategies to cope and helplines and organisations positively add to its usefulness. A very well recommended addition to the PSE library and the pupil library shelves.
