Last Group of 16 matches!
Di Maria fired in Messi's pass to clinch a 1-0 win,
ending stubborn Swiss resistance and setting
up a quarter-final tie against Belgium.
Belgium's golden generation earned
the chance to live up to their
billing
as they reached a first World Cup quarter-final
for 28 years
with an extra-time
win over a superb USA in Salvador.

Elaine's Tulip
Written several years ago, I'm finally
ready to do this book. I've looked at it many times, tried
various ways of doing it but never been happy,
so back into the drawer it went.
I'm happy to go ahead now. I know what I'm
doing. I'm in the zone.
I hope you enjoy seeing these
working drawings, a part of the process I love.
I'm a big fan of roughs!

Pip Ahoy
Rockpool Children's Books
really likes this animated series
from Cosgrove Hall Films.
To quote:
To quote:
'Pip Ahoy aims to bring fun and laughter into
every home with its mixture
of the extraordinary and the familiar.
Pip and his friends will carry
out a rescue here,
solve a problem there, taking care of their
close-knit
community and looking out for others.
But this is not to say
that the show
is anything but warm, boisterous, silly and fun.'

Newcastle School for Boys
Rupert Bear illustrator Stuart Trotter, from County
Durham,
pictured with pupils from Newcastle School for Boys
after he declared
the new library open.
The artist whose drawings bring Rupert Bear to life
for young readers,
officially opened a Newcastle school library yesterday.
Illustrator Stuart Trotter, from Ferryhill, County
Durham,
was the guest of honour at the official opening of the new
Newcastle
School for Boys Infants Library in Gosforth.
Not only did Stuart – who is also an approved
illustrator of Postman Pat, Kipper,
and Wallace and Gromit – declare the
library open, but he also
lent the pupils a helping hand to create their own
illustrated picture books.
Newcastle School for Boys is the city’s only
independent all boys school
for pupils aged between three and 18 and the new
library will cater specifically
for the reading needs of those from nursery to
Year 2.
Stuart, who is also an author and publisher of
children’s books,
spent the day at the school working with the children and
sharing
some of the skills which have made him one of the UK’s top children’s
book illustrators.
“It is a really nice, well stocked library. It is good
for the children to go
in and read the sort of books that I illustrate” said
Stuart.
Sian Woosnam, head of infants said, “I am delighted to
have
the new library open so that boys of all ages are able to
have access to a
wide range of books to encourage
reading for pleasure and independent research
skills.''

FourFourTwo Magazine
We'd like to thank FourFourTwo magazine
for the fantastic feature and review they've done on The Little Football Fan
for the fantastic feature and review they've done on The Little Football Fan
in the latest edition, available from all good newsagents,
Launched in 1994 after a no-show by England at
the World Cup in the USA,
FourFourTwo magazine arrived on the newsstands
with a fresh,
insightful approach to football. Now entering its 20th
year,
FourFourTwo has interviewed every single major star of the
game
from Pele to Maradona, Mourinho to Brian Clough and Messi to Ronaldo.
Access to the stars in the game has been won
through years of
hard work by the magazine’s editorial team, gaining the
trust and
confidence of the football community as well as building a
contacts
book that is second to none. People in football like talking to
us and,
quite frankly, we quite like talking to them. But access is
only part of what we strive to deliver every month in the magazine.
Our other key aim is to bring a level of insight
about the game that is
impossible to find in any other football
magazines, websites or newspapers.
Our reading of the game and ability
to analyse what we see unfolding
before us allows us to deliver genuine
insight that turns our readers into the
most knowledgeable amongst their
peer groups.
Our readers love FourFourTwo magazine because it gives
them
the information they need to impress and inform their mates.
The core of the magazine’s offering is its
heavyweight features section.
It is not unusual for the editorial team
to dedicate 12 pages to a single story
when necessary, taking the
readers deeper than they’ve ever been into the
chosen topic using the
world’s best football writers. This is supported by
fantastic design and
photography, creating the perfect package for avid football fans.
FourFourTwo’s readers are knowledgeable about
the game and vary
in age from youngsters to senior citizens and they are
all over the world.
FourFourTwo magazine is now published in 15
different territories across the world,
giving us a global footprint
that reaches from Mexico to Thailand.
Wherever you are in the world of
football, FourFourTwo is there.
