Topsy and Tim Go to the Seaside
Carol Watson
These books fall into a reassuring niche by providing comfortable everyday tales of Topsy and Tim's exploits on holiday and on a school trip to the seaside. They're produced in cartoon format which is quite a good introduction to this style for some, although the reading level and emotional, social appeal are very different. Good children's literature they aren't but popular books they undoubtedly are.
