|title=British Airways Colouring Book
|rating=4
|genre=Crafts
|summary=Over the past couple of years we've seen a lot of colouring books: flowers, patterns, fantasy creatures, characters and settings from television shows, films and books and lots more, but I can't recollect that we've ever before had one which featured a ''company''. Mind you, British Airways, is rather special; iconic and rather more long lasting than most passing celebrities. It has ''heritage'' and ''tradition''. The ''British Airways Colouring Book'' is based on exclusive posters, photographs and artwork from the company's archives and the 46 images allow the reader to recreate these as they wish. There's a bonus too: on the facing page of each image there's a potted history. I passed the book to someone with an interest in BA and he found the book interesting and informative ''without'' even thinking of doing any colouring.

|summary=When I was a child, some sixty and more years ago, there were not many books for children or, indeed, much money to buy what was available. Forty years ago, when my daughter was a child there were more and the libraries were relatively well stocked. But in the last thirty years children's books have flourished. I'm no great fan of [[J K Rowling's Harry Potter Books in Chronological Order|Harry Potter]] but even the most hardened cynic would have to admit that the wizard has brought a lot of children to reading - and to enjoying it too. In the same period we've seen books tackling ''difficult'' subjects become mainstream and the rise of young adult fiction. From near-famine we've moved to feast, but what we need now is guidance.
