You and Yours - 08/12/2010

Poet Benjamin Zephaniah and author of the Maisie Mouse books Lucy Cousins investigate the children's book market. We road test some of the latest offerings with some school children. With rising production costs and one book retailing at an eye-watering £24.99, does the market have a future? After falling out of favour in the 1990s, why is children's poetry now regaining popularity? We hear about the project which brings children into hospices to work with people at the end of their lives - can it create a healthier attitude to dying? And are parking charges contributing to the demise of our high street shops?
