The Princess and the Pekinese by Trisha Adelena Howell:Illustrated by Paul Lopez

The following is a review contributed by RACHEL NEWCOMBE, Writer / Editor / Researcher.

REVIEW

The Princess and the Pekinese, by Trisha Adelena Howell, is a delightful children's picture book aimed at 4 to 8 year olds. It tells the tale of Princess Lillian (a dog treated like a child) who suddenly has to cope with a new situation when the family buys a Pekinese puppy.

Lillian is thwarted by feelings of rejection and jealousy, and on the spur of the moment, runs away from her owners.

Life on the street couldn't be further from the reality she was used to and, after trudging endlessly through the streets and having to scavenge for leftovers, she gets captured. Through her journey and experiences, Lillian comes to realise how lucky she was.

The story is accompanied by excellent illustrations by Paul Lopez that effectively bring the story to life. The issues tackled are likely to strike a chord with others, and provide an added element to an enjoyable tale.

article I, Robot: The Illustrated Screenplay by Harlan Ellison and Isaac Asimov
The following review was contributed by: PAUL LAPPEN This is Ellison's script, written in the late 1970s, for a full-length movie incorporating several of Asimov's classic I, Robot stories. The essay which begins this book is not as vitriolic as some others of Ellison's, but it pulls no punches in chronicling the script's journey through Hollywood. The process was characterized by delay after delay. The script was supposedly ""impossible"" to film. At one point, Ellison...

article I Love You Like Crazy Cakes by Rose Lewis, Illustrated by Jane Dyer
The following book was reviewed by CAROLYN HOWARD-JOHNSON I Love You Like Crazy Cakes by Rose Lewis is a lovely little board book destined to become a keeper for any adopted child. The author sings a lullaby in prose to her newly adopted Chinese baby, one that baby and others will treasure. Illustrator Jane Dyer captures a nostalgic 40s look that still manages to look up-to-date. A book that is narrowly targeted to adoptive parents and children, I believe it would be most appreciated by...
