Three programs from the Cover to cover series which look at three of Australia’s best known children’s books. The authors and illustrators talk about how their books evolved, the techniques they used and other aspects of their work. The three books discussed are: ‘A pet for Mrs. Arbuckle’ by Gwenda Smyth, illustrated by Anne James, ‘Five times dizzy’ by Nadia Wheatley and ‘The Inside hedge story’ by Gillian Barnett.
