A Child's Grace In photographs by Harold Burdekin The art of the photographer is seen at its best when the camera catches the unstudied and appealing attitudes of small children. Mr Burdekin has hit upon the idea of illustrating the Grace by Mrs Leatham : Thank you for the world so sweet, Thank you for the birds that sing, Thank you for the food we eat, Thank you, God, for everything, supplemented by further appropriate verses by Dr Claxton, and with nearly thirty lovely photographic studies has made a perfect picture book for small children. FOR YOUNGEST READERS [10 ins. square] 5/' Sabu, The Elephant Boy By Frances Flaherty and Ursula Leacock This is a true account of the discovery of Sabu, the mahout's son, the boy chosen to play the part of Little Toomai in the film version of Kipling's famous story. Sabu is an orphan, who was found playing in the Maha- rajah of Mysore's elephant stables, and who turned out to be a natural actor of extraordinary ability.
