Cover Story
This month BfK features Jane Ray’s cover for The Twelve Dancing Princesses. We’re particularly delighted to have the opportunity to use this illustration as it enables us to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Orchard Books - they’re 10 this year! And also to thank them for their help in producing our July cover.
Dear Mum, Don't Panic
Edited by Tony Bradman
Three poems and nine short stories on a theme which always appeals to young readers and listeners: naughtiness. Here the misdemeanours range from breaking the rules in Muckabout School - playing pranks at Sunday Bible class, and sabotaging a birthday party (Dilly the Dinosaur style) - to being incurably good, no less. In addition, the variety of styles (including a letter) and settings (Kate Elizabeth Ernest's story is set in Jamaica) make this a fun book for sharing with fives to eights, who are good and not so good!
