Cover Story
The illustration on our cover is taken from Stories for Children by Oscar Wilde, illustrated by P J Lynch, 0 7500 0302 2, £10.00 (see Fairy Tale Favourites). The book is published by Simon & Schuster and we're grateful to them for help in using this illustration.
The Race
Small children learning language may find words like 'down', 'across', 'through' and 'over' rather difficult to understand as they describe concepts rather than actual objects. But this romp of a book should help as a dog and a boy zoom about on a bogie/wheelie/glider/go-cart 'through the mud', 'under the bridge', 'around the bend', etc. It's a great book to have fun with.
