Cover Story
The illustration on the cover of this issue is from the new Bodley Bookshelf edition of Penelope Farmer's The Summer Birds. We think Paul Geiger's artwork catches exactly the magic of that delightful book. We are grateful for the help of The Bodley Head in using this illustration.

A trail of chicken feed leads us through this book as we follow a new born chick from its egg to the end of the book and 'togetherness'. In a sequence of fine colour photographs, shot from a variety of angles - bird's eye view, close up, sideways on, or below - the fluffy ball of yellow moves along the path: 'Straight', 'Crooked', 'Round', 'and Round', 'Left', 'Right'... to the 'End'. A smashing book both for beginning readers and for helping children's development of spatial concepts.
