A Child's Garden of Verses ,
by
Robert
Louis
Stevenson,
illustrated
by
Tasha
Tudor
This
classic
edition
beautifully
portrays
Stevenson's
sometimes
exuberant,
sometimes
melancholy
childhood
poems,
which
so
many
of us
grew
up
with.
Perfect
for
gentle
bedtime
reading,
this
book
with
its
lovely
illustrations
and
classic
rhyme
and
rhythm,
is a
must
for
every
child's
bookshelf.
For
children
of
all
ages.
Mary Engelbreit's Mother Goose:
One
Hundred
Best-Love
Verses
From
the
colorful
imagination
of
Mary
Englebreit
springs
a
Mother
Goose
world
bursting
with
warmth
and
humor.
It's
a
masterful
collection
of
the
adorable,
the
zany,
and
the
beautiful
that
will
be
cherished
for
generations.
As
complete
as
can
be
with
one
hundred
rhymes
in
all,
this
is
truly
a
book
to
treasure.
The 20th Century Children's Book Treasury,
by Janet
Schulman
Believe
it or
not,
44
complete
read-aloud
classics
and
future
classics--from
Goodnight
Moon
to
Stellaluna--are
packed
in
this
remarkably
svelte,
positively
historic
anthology.
Flipping
through
the
308
pages
of
The
20th-Century
Children's
Book
Treasury
is
like
browsing
a
photo
album
of
beloved
friends
and
family.
The
familiar
faces
of
Curious
George
and
Ferdinand
the
Bull
peer
earnestly
from
the
pages,
and
scenes
from
Madeline
and
Millions
of
Cats
resonate
as if
you
just
experienced
them
yesterday.
From
baby/toddler
books
such
as
Whose
Mouse
Are
You?,
through
preschool
books
such
as
Where
the
Wild
Things
Are,
to
longer
stories
for
ages
5 and
older
such
as
Alexander
and
the
Terrible,
Horrible,
No
Good,
Very
Bad
Day,
you'll
love
the
idea
of
being
within
easy
reach
of a
Star-Belly
Sneetch,
a
William
Steig
donkey,
and a
Sendak
monster
at
all
times,
and
we're
sure
your
little
bookworms
will,
too.

Something Big Has Been Here,
Jack
Prelutsky
In
this
delightful
companion
to
The New Kid on the Block,
an
early
worm
frightens
the
early
bird,
four
vain
and
ancient
tortoises
race
to
see
who
can
get
to
the
finish
line
last.
Other
subjects
near
and
dear
to
children's
hearts
make
fabulous
fodder
for
fun,
including
sibling
rivalry,
bad
table
manners,
meatloaf,
and
bats.
Illustrator
James
Stevenson's
lively
line
drawings
capture
Prelutsky's
goofy
poetic
antics
perfectly,
making
this
collection
another
essential
addition
to
any
child's
library.

by
Philip
Pullman

boxed
set
includes
the
trilogy:
The
Golden
Compass,

hooked

mystery
and
intrigue
and
in
which
every
human

companion dæmon.
My
son
then
read
the
entire
trilogy
and
couldn't
put
it
down.
The
third
installment
is a
bit
heavy,
but
my
15-year-old
(at
the
time)
loved
all
three
books.

The Happy Hollisters,
by Jerry
West
 
I was
so
excited
to
find
these
these
original
Happy
Hollister
books
available!
They
were
my
absolute
favorites
when
I was
a
child,
and I
read
them
all!
I
passed
my
books
on to
my
siblings,
so
had
to
sift
through thrift
stores
and
garage
sales
to
find
them
for
my
children.
There
were
33
books
in
this
series,
written
between
approximately
1953
and
1970.
Although
rather
outdated,
these
exciting
mysteries
may
be an
excellent
way
to
introduce
children
to
the
changes
that
have
taken
place
in
our
society
over
the
past
half
century.
Great
for
younger
children,
ages
4-9.
