Item 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
---------------------------------------------
On May 5, 1998, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the
Registrant dismissed KPMG Peat Marwick LLP ("Peat Marwick") as independent
accountants to the Registrant and appointed Arthur Andersen LLP as the new
independent accountants to the Registrant. Peat Marwick's accountant's report on
the financial statements of the Registrant for the past two years did not
contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. There were no
other reportable events or disagreements with Peat Marwick to report in response
to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K, Section 229.304(a).

Re: THE MILLBROOK PRESS INC. (THE "COMPANY")
----------------------------------------
Gentlemen:
We were previously principal accountants for The Millbrook Press Inc.
and, under the date of October 3, 1997, we reported on the financial statements
of The Millbrook Press Inc. as of and for the years ended July 31, 1997 and
1996. On May 5, 1998, our appointment as principal accountants was terminated.
We have read The Millbrook Press Inc.'s statements included under Item 4 of its
Form 8-K dated May 11, 1998, and we agree with such statements, except that we
are not in a position to agree or disagree with The Millbrook Press Inc.'s
statement that the audit committee of the board of directors dismissed KPMG Peat
Marwick LLP as independent accountants and appointed Arthur Andersen LLP as the
new independent accountants.
Very truly yours,
/S/ KPMG PEAT MARWICK LLP
