Cover Story
This issue’s cover illustration by Fangorn is taken from Brian Jacques’ Lord Brocktree (Hutchinson, 0 09 176877 2, £12.99), the thirteenth title in the internationally best-selling Redwall series. Salamandastron, the ancestral home of the Badger Lords, is under threat from Ungatt Trunn, an enemy whose power would seem to be absolute and whose evil knows no bounds. The only hope for survival is the badger Lord Brocktree who is drawn to the fortress by an undeniable sense of destiny. Brian Jacques' masterful storytelling as always spins a web of high adventure that will enthral the reader from the first page to the last. Thanks to Hutchinson Children’s Books for their help in producing this September cover.

Daisy and the Egg
Daisy is excited about the arrival of a baby brother or sister. After watching her aunt’s eggs hatching, she cannot wait for Mamma Duck’s egg to open. She decides to help it along by sitting on it herself and wakes up the next morning to the sound of Pip, her new brother. This warmly told and illustrated story comes out extremely well in these two dual language versions. The Urdu or Arabic script appears clearly in a font size and weight which looks comparable to that of the English text below it. This title would lend itself wonderfully to bilingual storytelling at school as well as being a great book to send home for reading with parents – in whichever language.
