Poet Benjamin Zephaniah and author of the Maisy Mouse books Lucy Cousins look into 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 growing market in smartphone apps for children. And deaf comedian Steve Day tells us about the little differences that would make his life so much easier.
