Cover Story
Through star filled skies on Christmas Eve Kay Harker, in a sleigh pulled by eight unicorns and driven by Herne the Hunter, returns in triumph to Tatchester. The illustration on the cover of this issue of BfK is by Faith Jaques and is taken from The Box of Delights, a newly illustrated edition of John Masefield's classic children's book, abridged by Patricia Crampton and published by Heinemann, 0 434 95052 1, £7.95. A paperback edition (without colour plates) is available from Fontana Lion (0 00 572415 9, £1.50). We are grateful to Heinemann and Fontana for help in using this illustration.
Hamster is Hiding
Kittens in the Kitchen
Puppy in the Park
Goat in the Garden
Excellent colour photographs, a cumulative text with memorable and in some cases, exciting words - 'Hugga Mugga', 'scrumply', 'tangly', 'crunchy cabbage' - to get the tongue round, and the hallmarks of these four Snowball books. Their ingredients make them ideal for beginner readers of all ages and for sharing with the very young.
