Josie, Click and Bun and the Little Tree House
Illustrated by Dorothy Wheeler
If this book had been written by a 6-year-old and put together using 'Pendown', one could almost justify the use of the school's comb-binder for the child to take home to proud parents. Unfortunately, it was written by a grown woman and proper grown-up publishers have decided to spend real money reissuing it. On these terms it is abysmal. Crude, silly events and crude, silly characters insult the intelligence of even the youngest child. Plainly this was written as a cheap pot boiler and in my opinion it should have been left to moulder 50 years ago when it first came out. Red Fox, who do so many good things, should be ashamed of themselves. I suppose they're hoping to make a lot of money. Don't buy this ... it will only encourage them to think they can get away with it another time.
