The World Came to My Place Today. Written by Jo Readman and illustrated by Ley Honor Roberts. (Random House 10.99)
This is a bright, modern book successfully linking different kinds of images as well as story and information text - something that is notoriously hard to achieve.
Painted illustrations of the main characters, George and his sister Flora with their grandpa, are combined with maps and photos of the places where everyday goods come from.
The story starting-point features George, who has chicken pox and can't go out. But the book's message is that if you have to stay in one place it does not have to be boring - for example, we discover where the breakfast cereal in George's bowl might have come from. Here a photograph of a cornflake-style cereal is placed in an illustrated bowl.
