Poor Billy Bumps, he's always bumping into things. One day he bumped into a wall. ŒWhat a silly place to build a wall,' he said. ŒI'll tear it down and build a palace.'

And that's just what he did - the biggest palace in all the world.


Another talented illustrator is Korky Paul, who has created the ingenious BILLY BUMPS BUILDS A PALACE, which cleverly tells a simple story to delight a younger child.

CAROUSEL SUMMER 96



This aptly named elephant has a tendency to bump and once he's bumped he's keen to rebuild to his own imaginative design. However, his laudable achievements are momentary and the bricks form a rumbling heap once more. It's all rather sad, but Billy Bump's consistent optimism suggests he'll cope. Young children find this really funny, and enjoy the cropped pages and humorous illustrations. They also love Zoé Paul's (7yrs) colourful elephants which March along the endpapers. Full of carefree chaos and destruction.
