|title=The Diary of Dennis the Menace: The Great Escape
|rating=4
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=Poor Dennis the Menace. He thinks he's sorted his life out, and got rid of the Bum-Face wimp he loves to hate so much. His school, the Bash Street, is giving the winner of an exam they are holding the chance to upgrade to the snotty Posh Street equivalent, which is a nightmare full of books (and worse) and is actually a boarding school – yes, one of those places for people who seriously want to ''live in a school''. Clearly the exam will only have one winner – said wimp, Walter the Softy. But like I say, Dennis only ''thinks'' he has his life sorted – sometimes it can come round to bite him on the bum, and sort ''him'' out…

|summary=World War Two – so often a lesson subject for our primary school children, even after all this time. Nazis, Soviets, Pearl Harbor – but wait. That last wasn't just the clarion call to the Americans to join in with the rest of our Allies – it was a mere episode in a fuller story – the half of the war that was never seen by those in Europe, beyond the fact the British Empire was certainly changed forever. The War in the Pacific is something I was certainly never taught much about in school, at any age. And here's a graphic novel version of the tale from a publisher in India that can serve at last as a salutary lesson.

|title=World War Two: Under the Shadow of the Swastika (Campfire Graphic Novels)
|rating=4
|genre=Children's Non-Fiction
|summary=One of the most common subjects at primary school, getting on for three generations since it happened, is of course World War Two. It has the impact that sixty million dead people deserve – but only if it's taught correctly. One of the ways to present it is this book, which comes from a slightly surprising place – an Indian publisher completely new to me – but succeeds in being remarkably competent, complete and really quite readable.
