"Full-bleed vintage illustrations by Jesse Wilcox-Smith, Maxfield
Parrish, Margaret Evans Price and others grace the pages of this
cheerful 9"x9" hardcover book, divided into five sections: arts and
crafts activities, condensed fairy tales, songs, games, and nursery
rhymes. The projects are simple and have buoyant instructions
(steps to make 'Animal Masks' suggest, 'Add some hairs if you are a
mammal, scales if you are feeling reptilian, or feathers to fluff
in the birdbath'); songs such as 'Old MacDonald' and 'Ants Go
Marching' include musical notation; and familiar stories and rhymes
appear as well. The lively assemblage will appeal to toddlers, and
the heirloom images should captivate them as well as nostalgic
adults."
-Publishers Weekly "A treasure trove of games, activities, songs,
rhymes, stories and more that toddlers will adore. All the
well-loved classics of childhooh are given pride of places, along
with fabulous cintage children's illustrations in gently muted,
textured colors that add to the nostalgic appeal...a great resource
for preschool staff and teachers, libraries, and parents and
schools as well. Children will love the beautiful pictures that
heavily stud the whole book. Great editorial selection of
literature, ideas and illustrations are presented beautifully to
children and adults."
