Special Announcement for all Books for Keeps readers

Author: Pat Triggs
EXTRA!

In the November issue of Books for Keeps we are going to publish a special, eight-page, full colour supplement designed for children between 7 and 13. We’re calling it EXTRA!

Our purpose is to provide something that does for your children what Books for Keeps does for you – inform, entertain and interest about books.

Extra! will feature Raymond Briggs, the author/illustrator, and his characters – Fungus, Father Christmas, Snowman… There’ll be something to do on pop-ups from Ron van der Meer (you too can be a paper engineer), something to bend brains from Johnny Ball, something to ponder from John Craven, something to (a)muse from Mike Rosen and Spike Milligan, plus jokes, riddles, etc.

Extra! can be sold on or given away to children through your school bookshop, in your library, at your book fair, via your PTA or in your classroom. It would help us enormously if you placed your order (see below for details) in advance – to give us an idea of the likely demand and to enable us to despatch your additional copies (you’ll be getting one anyway with your November issue of Books for Keeps) as soon as possible in November.

If you like the sound of Extra!, use the special order form with this September copy of Books for Keeps now.

Prices are as follows:
