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.
The Cat, the Fish and the Fish Tank
Illustrated by Paula Youens
A simple and unremarkable story of a cat trying to catch a goldfish which inevitably ends with a wet moggy and the fish safe and sound. Not in my view likely to inspire but better than many 'readers' at that early level.
