Rating:  Summary: Hand in hand, on the edge of the sand.... Review: Spectacularly beautiful illustrations make this book a joy. The familiar poem has a gently rocking rhythm, and the pictures have a flow of their own. My 18-month-old daughter likes to find the flower, the yellow fish, the cat and the owl on each page. The quiet familiarity of the poem calms her down during the nighttime crazies (that spurt of energy toddlers get just before they collapse into a puddle). I recommend this book for a soothing, visually delightful experience.
Rating:  Summary: The Owl & the Pussycat Go Carribbean Review: This book is just so cool. Longing for a trip to the tropics? Read this version of the book to your little one and you can at least feel like you are there. The illustrations are really sweet. They have a lot of details so that kids kind find new things with each reading. My two-year old loves this book. It is a great twist on an old tale
Rating:  Summary: Beautiful book with depth! Review: This is one of my favorite all-time books. I have always loved the story. My mother recited it so often that it was one of the first things I memorized. It's whimsical, sweet and has interesting characters and locations. When I found this edition with Jan Brett's illustrations, I was captivated. I have read it to my four children over and over again, and I always find a new detail that I missed before. Wonderful book!!!

Rating:  Summary: beautiful illustrations Review: What Lear has done with words is define the children's rhyme-tale. While The pictures are delightful, they are not the emphasis."Owl..." is so unique among children's literature. It is a story so innocent, so kind that imagination's are stirred and lessons in language are learned. It ranks with "A Child's Garden of Verses" by Robert Louis Stevenson. Buy the hardcover. You'll be re-reading it so often you'll want something sturdy. I recommend this book fully. Anthony Trendl
