Cover Story
The illustration on our cover is taken from Think of an Eel, Karen Wallace, ill. Mike Bostock, published by Walker (0 7445 2250 1, £6.99) - see the article 'Facts... With the Freshness of Fiction' for more about this book and others in the 'Read and Wonder' series. We are grateful to Walker Books for their help in using this illustration.
The first of three picture books by Dennis Reader this month. It's a very funny story about Benjamin Butters who drops things all the time. We have awful thoughts about what will happen when he holds his new baby sister and I wouldn't spoil it for you by telling, either. Sufficient to say this is ideal for young children, especially those still wobbly on ball control, with several sly, little jokes in both text and illustration for the alert adult.
