Fig 21 At The Fair

I found this little sun bleached number while rooting around the 'Treasure Chest' with my sister, I was firstly drawn to the colours they reminded me of the clapboard houses which lined the streets of San Francisco on a hot summers day. And secondly the nature of the illustrations which are very cute and have a great graphic composition my favorite page being the tightrope.

Puffin, Twink & Waggle AT THE FAIR By Rodney Bennett and Joyce Dennys

Fig 20 A Lesson In...

These four little books are guides on how to...avoid common faults in gravy making,...
How to glaze a fruit tart... decorate your own wedding cake... wonderful ways of cutting a carrot. They would look great mounted in box frame's on a kitchen wall.

Fig 19 Bon Appetit

This book was so bright and colourful I could not pass it by, the illustrations are so French the mask on the little boy - see double page spread reminded me of the film Amelie - Its a complete treat and the recipes if not daring (Scotch Egg!!) are all illustrated beautifully so don't worry if you can't read French.
The recent books shown on my blog, will be on sale - on my soon to be online shop.
