Cover Story
July's front cover features the hardback version of Paula Danziger's Thames Doesn't Rhyme with James, using an illustration by Joe Csatari. The book is published by Heinemann and we're grateful to them for their help. For further details see the Authorgraph interview with Paula Danziger.
The Secret Path
Another Percy story in which squirrel's poor listening skills inadvertently make complications for Percy and we're left wondering if everyone did, or did not, get out of the maze ... and also, thanks to the poster-size picture of the maze, with an opportunity to ascertain just how difficult the predicament is. The illustrations are full of humour and detail, to which many 5-7 year-olds in my class responded with requests for another look. Only established readers could tackle it for themselves and fully appreciate the humour, but everyone became involved in the drama and fun.
