Phyllis Krasilovsky's story of Hendrika the cow who feels somehow that there must be more to life than eating grass and accidentally finds out what it is, has been delighting children for over twenty years in hardback and then in puffin. The new larger pages allow the details of Peter Spier's characterful illustrations of Holland to be explored and relished more easily.

Pat Hutchins should never be allowed to go out of print. Two favourites The Wind Blew, 0 14050236 X, and the marvellously funny Don't Forget the Bacon, 0 14 050.315 3, are now back with us.

As is John Ryan's Captain Pugwash, 0 14 050.013 8.
