Cover Story
Our cover this issue was created from the endpapers of the Blue Book and the Yellow Book of Hob Stories to be published by Walker Books later this year. Hob made his first appearance last year in the Red and Green Books of Stories about him by William Mayne. Patrick Benson who did the illustrations has just won the Mother Goose Award. For more details see Ed's Page (opposite) and the report of the Mother Goose Award (page 10). We are most grateful to Walker Books for help in using these illustrations.

Send to friendMr Bear's Trumpet
Illustrated by Kozo Kakimoto
The first appearance in paperback for a popular and friendly bear. Mr Bear seems blissfully ignorant of the fact that his trumpet playing is not a hit with his rabbit friends or the circus audience but he has all winter to practice. The sumptuous full colour illustrations are well served in this edition which is one of four just published in their full size format, on the same high quality paper as the hardcover originals.
