Cover Story
The illustration on our cover is from the newly-published Robert Cormier novel Beyond the Chocolate War, (Gollancz, 0 575 03711 3, £7.95). The illustration is by Caroline Binch and shows in the centre Archie Costello, Assigner of the Vigils, holding the white ball which readers of The Chocolate War will remember as all important in deciding who undertakes the assignments that are required from certain unfortunate individuals. In this sequel new characters join him and the old return to play out Archie's last term at Trinity High. We are grateful to Gollancz for help in using this illustration.
The Wild Baby
Eva Eriksen
Special bond between harassed Mum and her rumbustious baby. Ben, is beautifully depicted in vivid and hilarious pictures and witty versifying. Fives up to eights should enjoy the exploits: frightening Mum in the middle of the night; playing hide and seek; falling down the loo. Lovely spacious pictures give the appearance that the toddler is everywhere and the young reader will soon get that message.
