When a man borrows a coat from a scarecrow, he is magically flown to a nearby town where he and the coat perform for an audience at a restaurant.

The Coat

Margaret Perversi

Have a child who doesn't like sleeping alone? Or balks at taking a bath? A pair of child-friendly picture books offers knowing reassurance. It may be Henry's bath time, but Henry has other ideas. What if he gives the cat a bath instead? Would the hens or the goat or the cow like to take his place in the tub full of toys? Then, when Henry sees that the bath is warm and bubbly and all set to go, he's ready to hop in himself, encouraging reluctant little bathers to follow suit.

Henry's Bath

'My daddy said, On the day you were born, I wrapped you up warm and took you for a walk to see the world . . . 'My daddy said, On the day you were born, I put you back in your mother's arms, and that night we were the world.' A celebration of the glories of existence, the world seen afresh on the birth of a new baby.
