Cover Story
"Our cover picture Holiday traffic on its way to the coast, August 1960' may evoke nostalgia, interest, curiosity or speculation. Whatever the response, if it encourages close looking that is what Penny Marshall had in mind when she selected for Cars (0 356 l 1393 0) in her The Camera as witness series for Macdonald."

Another visual interpretation of the ever popular traditional tale. Here the unwilling helpers are cast in the shape of a roguish looking cat, goose and pig whose favourite occupation seems to be playing cards. Both young listeners and apprentice readers will enjoy the natural repetition and the anticipation of the inevitable ending as well as Margot Zemach's water colour illustrations.
