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.

Lots of flaps to pull in this pop-up book reminiscent of Where's Spot? Little Dragon searches for a place to hide in the cupboard, behind the sofa, under the stairs - but all these familiar hiding places are already occupied by other monsters. No matter because when the small black boy gets home, he decides they do not need to be afraid of each other and can play as friends. There is a very uncluttered feel to this book - simple pencil illustrations in warm colours are set against a white background, collage-like, and there is lots of space around both Bengali and English texts which makes the qualities of each script stand out. A lovely book for sharing with early years. Available in 11 dual language versions.
