ONCE UPON A TIME

This from The Guardian last Friday (Nov.3):

From Madonna to Kylie, from Ricky Gervais to Paul McCartney,
A-list actors, comics and singers are reinventing themselves as children's authors. Most make a terrible job of it - so why do the books keep coming and the tills keep ringing? Ed Pilkington investigates and rates the best and the worst.

Well worth reading if you have an interest in children's books.
