Connie and Rollo

Dick King-Smith
 Judy Brown
(Young Corgi)
978-0552527958, RRP £3.99, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
Buy "Connie & Rollo" on Amazon

Two entertaining stories for young, newly independent readers or older, slower ones about two precocious children. Connie is born able to do the most difficult mental arithmetic, and Rollo always speaks in rhyme. Dick King-Smith evidently has more admiration for those who can use language than those who can do calculations, for Connie's talents become a terrible burden to her parents whilst Rollo goes on to a happy and long life. Both stories are amusing and, together with the short chapters, will be popular with 6- to 8-year-olds.
