Basil Brush Takes Off

Peter Firmin
(Young Lions)
978-0006721321, RRP £1.75, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
Buy "Basil Brush Takes Off (Lions)" on Amazon

The busy fox and his sidekick Harry the Mole "At the Seaside" and "In the Jungle" I like the 'Young Lions' format of two self-contained stories in one book. Ardent fans of the TV hero will stick with these, and the text-picture links are good. The plots are stretched though - and the sixes and sevens who read this for me were not as impressed as with other books in the excellent 'Young Lions' list.
