News at Eleven: And which does Michael [Rosen] prefer,

the John-Taupin method or the Lennon-McCartney?

Michael, 62, of London says: "I nearly always send a manuscript over to the illustrator. You have to trust an illustrator to do what they do. This is the case with illustrators such as Helen Oxenbury (We're Going on a Bear Hunt) and Quentin Blake (Michael Rosen's Sad Book).

"They do a visual reading of what I have written, representing my words."
