(Sparrow, 0 09 935890 5, £l.50). We are most grateful to Sparrow Books for help in using this illustration.
Wilberforce Goes on a Picnic
The contrast between the simple matter-of-fact text - 'It got rather windy', 'Grandfather started the car', and the controlled disaster of the pictures shows young readers that a story is more than the sum of its words. Wilberforce, a new fictional bear, enjoys his day out in the country, reading about it is great fun too.
