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. For details of the book and more about Penelope Farmer, turn to May We Recommend... on page 14.
Wilberforce Goes Shopping
Those who met Wilberforce in his earlier adventure on a family picnic will seize upon this sequel and may well guess what is likely to happen when the young bear is let loose in the supermarket. Framed colour pictures and a single line of text per page, as before, but for me, the mismatch and irony or text and pictures is not so clear and works less well. Nonetheless, well worth having in any infant collection.
