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.
Star Quest
Illustrated by Nick Harris
Another in the long line of Where's Wally imitations but without the wit and quality of illustration. Each spread is a different stage in the adventure with things to find in the picture. Needless to say you can progress through the story, such as it is, without finding all the objects.
