Day 160. Here's an appealing scene for a rainy August afternoon - the opening to Tim in Danger. 'It was a lovely day when Tim, Charlotte and Ginger were playing on the beach. The sky was blue, and the white yachts were sailing in the bay.'

Day 105 Back to Paul, the Hero of the Fire by Edward Ardizzone today. I love this picture - conjures up the smell of hay and horses and relaxed chats with munching horses in the background. Perfect.

The War Office felt Ardizzone’s intimate and understated style would help Britons better understand the War and what life in the forces was actually like. After France, Ardizzone was posted to Cairo and then Italy, before joining British troops for the D-Day landings.

Before the war Ardizzone wrote and illustrated the first book that would bring him to fame: Little Tim and the Brave Sea Captain, published by Oxford University Press. Post-war he did many Penguin covers for children's books.

Day 38 of felt like a Johnny’s Bad Day sort of a day. A small wordless picture book with the sweetest ending. Everything goes wrong for Poor Johnny from the moment he gets out the wrong side of bed... but everything turns out ok in the end.
