Anorak Issue 4: Writing, Used [Paperback]

If there's one thing that Anorak is passionate about, it's WRITING Without writing there'd be no Anorak, there'd be no magazines at all, or books, or letters, or emails or blogs. The art of writing is truly something to shout about and the latest issue of Anorak is dedicated to spreading the joy of the written word and encouraging all Anorak readers to give writing a go themselves. It delves into history to discover how our ancestors communicated, we interview Dr Finkel about his collection of diaries and finds out what is the shortest alphabet in the world. It also carries stories about a butterfly who tries to do a good deed, a profile about Sally the Smile, a diary with the Cloud-O-mobile inventor and many pages of activities and games. ANORAK is the happy mag for kids, published four times a year by The ANORAK Press in London, and aimed at both boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 12 years old. In every edition, you will find fun stories to read, stuff to make, and plenty of coloring pages to keep everyone happy Since its launch in 2006, ANORAK has broken new grounds in terms of visual communication for children. Its unique format includes brand-new stories written and illustrated by contemporary illustrators, a 'good stuff' guide, and some fun activities. The press has been featured in the Huffington Post, GOOP, OhDeedoh, and TIME magazine. It is recognized worldwide as a publishing house that produces fun, positive, edu-tainment for kids. Nominated first of top three "hot new prints" by Time Magazine "Busting with ideas and inspiration, and urging its young readers to tap into their own imaginations." -Telegraph Cathy Olmedillas, formerly of 90s lifestyle bibles The Face and Arena, has more than fifteen years experience in the publishing industry.

"In everything Anorak does, the saccharine, fat and starch of the usual children's fare has been replaced by the true sweetness of homegrown organic fare. Extreme fun for the kids and a visual delight for all. YUM " Francoise Mouly, Editorial Director, TOON Books Art Editor, The New Yorker
