Mrs Circumference
Illustrated by Jill Bennett
(Andre Deutsch Ltd)
978-0233984551, RRP £2.95, Paperback
8-10 Junior/Middle
A ballad in comical doggerel about the bulky heroine's remorseless expansion, and the way it was checked by a nightmare ride on the Circle Line. I enjoyed the shifting rhythms of this book, but it would probably be a good idea to assess the sensitivities of your stouter readers before offering it for general consumption.
