Cover Story
Our cover illustration this month is by Alan Lee from The Lord of the Rings by J R R Tolkien. The first-ever colour illustrated edition is now available from HarperCollins (0 261 102230 3) at £30.00. We thank them for their help in reproducing the cover of the book.
Look Lively Rest Easy
Performed by multi-ethnic cast of adults and children. There's an enormous amount crammed into these 80 minutes: stories, tricks and rhymes to waken and quicken on the 'Look Lively' side, and much to relax and soothe on the 'Rest Easy' side. The attractive book has all the words and music with copious illustrations. The stories are told, not read, and the multicultural content is varied including a Gambian waking song, an Australian aboriginal sitting-down dance and scottish and Mexican lullabies. The musical instruments used are just as diverse - tin-can percussion, maracas, guitar and even a nightingale! There are notes and project guidance for teachers.
