BfK No. 97 - March 1996
Cover Story
The March cover of BfK features Dilly the Dinosaur who is 10 years old this year. Her author, Tony Bradman, is the subject of our Authorgraph this month. We are grateful to Reed Books for their help in reproducing this illustration from Susan Hellard's original artwork.
I've never trusted plants, especially those that grow taller than me. This book suggests my mistrust is soundly based. A weird shaped seed pod which seems to have a beating heart cuddled by the local beauty queen?) keeps on growing, especially when the beauty's lost necklace turns up. Apart from a rather wobbly ending this makes growing runner beans in the classroom seem a hazardous pursuit.
