The Children's Book of Books
Produced to coincide with World Book Day 1998, this selection of favourite titles chosen by various celebrities is full of useful tips for young readers today. They can discover who are the most borrowed children's authors from public libraries (Janet and Allan Ahlberg), and which title was chosen as the nation's favourite story in last year's Waterstone's poll (Roald Dahl's Matilda). It is also interesting to see which books and why were chosen by the Prime Minister (The Lord of the Rings), Alex Ferguson (Treasure Island), Liam Gallacher (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) and Jeremy Paxman (The Owl and the Pussy-cat). For those yet to spend the $1 book voucher promised to every school child this year, here is just the title at exactly the right price.
