The Swish of the Curtain
by Pamela Brown |
Anyone remember reading this as a
child? I loved it and read it many times. I wanted a copy for my son only to
discover it had just gone out of print.
The publisher has let me know today that it is BACK IN PRINT. Over the moon -
my son loves everything to do with theatre and I just know we are going to
enjoy sharing this one. |

Milligan gift pack |
The best of Spike's writing for
children, the Children's Treasury is beautifully illustrated with Spikes own
drawings, lovingly hand coloured specifically for this book - a joy to read to
younger children or for older children to read themselves.
All the ingenious wordplay, bubbling nonsense and dancing imagination of
Spike's poetry is brought vividly to life when he reads his own selection of
poems on this hour-long tape, recorded specially for this gift set. Featuring
On the Ning Nang Nong and the extremely silly story of The Bald Twit Lion, this
tape is only available as part of this gift set. |

You won't believe your eyes when you see The
Amazing Magic Fact Machine in action. The book contains everything your child
ever wanted to know about all sorts of topics - but with an amazing twist.
Ask the Magic Fact Machine a question and it will incredibly tell you the right
answer every time.
But how does it work...? No-one seems to know and the publishers, Big Fish,
aren't telling! A great educational novelty.

The First Starry Night |
|
| |
A special book which leaves the reader with a "feel" for
the warmth of friendship, and the special bond that cannot be broken, between
'brothers of the heart', even when paths must part.
A delightful account of van Gogh's life, seen through the eyes of a small boy,
with gorgeous illustrations in his style. One teacher said : "The colorful
illustrations captivated my second graders, and they kept watching for Melon
the cat on every page." For 4-8 year-olds.

A Blue Butterfly |

'A similar book with 'luminescent art work' which invites parents
and children to revisit the art and life of Claude Monet, capturing the essence
of Monet's art in its warm colors, using the same palette of only 8 colours.
The few poetic lines that accompany the drawings are perfect for young
children. One mother writes : "What a find! I heartily recommend this
book." For 5-8 year-olds.
