Cover Story
The anarchic hero of many daring adventures, William, as depicted on our cover by Thomas Henry in one of his effective, humorous pen and ink illustrations, is now a period piece. A William de nos jours illustrated by Tony Ross and aimed at a younger audience stands alongside him. This new William will be featured in adaptations of the stories by Martin Jarvis. Richmal Crompton, author of the William books, is the subject of this issue's Authorgraph. Thanks to Macmillan Children’s Books for their help with this November cover.
A super series of books about the senses in which a range of vocabulary relating to sight, sound, touch and taste is imaginatively introduced. Each square format book looks and feels good to handle. Children will love lifting the large flaps which reveal the rest of the sentence begun on the opposite page as well as a photograph of a key item cleverly integrated into the bold illustrations.
There is excellent parity of scripts in these dual language texts - typographical issues for different language scripts have been very well addressed. Wonderful additions to early years libraries.
