MUFFIN AND THE KEEPER, by Paul Warren (Mammoth, £4.99)

THIS book is kind of a fairytale. It starts off OK but then gets better and better, and the illustrations are great.

It all begins when the Urgs take Muffin's father's money. So Muffin goes after the Urgs. He travels deep inside the forest but bumps into a thunder lizard to find out about his adventures. It is scary but in a funny kind of way and great for kids aged eight to 10.
