Cover Story
On the front of BfK this month is the cover of On Christmas Eve by Peter Collington - see his accompanying piece in this issue. The book was published by Heinemann (the paperback version is now available) and the animated film will be shown on TV at Christmas - all details are given at the foot of Peter Collington's delightful double-page spread. We thank Heinemann for their help in using this illustration.

Harry Enfield
This book is one of the 'Jets' series so far offered as book-and-cassette packages: complete books with plenty of illustrations and speech balloons to encourage 6-8 year-olds. Here we have the funny story of Russell Fussell who just can't help speaking in rhyme which leads him into all sorts of trouble, even though his impromptu rhyming saves the school play from disaster. The vivacity of the pictures is translated into inventive sound effects with extra voices enhancing Harry Enfield's lively storytelling.
