English in a Nutshell by John Edward Thompson has been compiled from the duplicated sheets used by the author in his own classroom over a number of years. It traces the foundations and derivations of the English language and enumerates the Parts of Speech. It deals with punctuation, number and gender, illustrates the more common figures of speech and includes examples of grammatical errors and a number of useful spelling hints. As a supplement to a series of orthodox English Text books it provides ample revisionary material and serves as a basis for numerous exercises which, it is suggested, will extend the child's vocabulary and facilitate his use of language.

Maisy, the epony-mouse from Lucy Cousins' hugely popular books, has been brought to the small screen in a series of beautifully produced animated tales now collected together on video. Each episode focuses on a central theme such as "Bedtime" or "Birthday", and features Maisy's band of friends: Tallulah the effervescent chick, Eddie the elephant, Cyril the Squirrel, and the stomach-obsessed crocodile Charley. The animation reproduces the bright, block colours of the books, but adds a new dimension of playful characterisation and sound effects.
