Rating: Summary: A favorite book Review: I was skeptical that he'd like this book when he found it, believing my 2 year old was a bit young for poetry beyond Dr. Seuss. But he loves the sound and rhythm of the words as well as the pictures in my old Golden Book edition, and asks for it nearly every day now. For myself it's a nice change from the usual kids books.
Rating: Summary: A True Treasure found Review: Imagine my happiness when I found a copy of the book that night after night my mother had read to me as a child in the late 50s and early 60s - My copy had long fallen apart but this was the correct edition and as I opened the pages the illustrations welcomed me like old friends. I got the flu and my husband kindly read the entire book to me and then next time my Mom came to visit I read a few to her and watched her smile. Expose a child to this book and they will develop a love of poetry, the whimiscal and when you watch Rocky and Bullwinkle next time you will know where Bullwinkle gets all the poems that he recites !
Rating: Summary: You cannot go wrong!!! Review: This book is pure magic. The Provensons' beautiful artwork has been etched onto my brain from early childhood. Stevenson's beautiful verses coupled with the delightful illustrations make this book truly magical. You will love this book!!!!
