Unparalleled in scope and quality and designed for reading aloud and
sharing, this splendid anthology brings together 43 of the most memorable and
beloved children's books of our time. Here are classics such as Madeline
and Curious George; contemporary bestsellers such as Guess How Much I
Love You and The Stinky Cheese Man; Caldecott Medal winners such as
Make Way for Ducklings and Where the Wild Things Are; and family
favorites such as Goodnight Moon, The Sneetches, and
Winnie-the-Pooh. The selections range from concept books and wordless
books to picture books and short read-aloud stories, and represent the complete
array of childhood themes and reading needs: ABCs, number and color books,
stories about going to bed and going to school; tales about growing up,
siblings, parents, and grandparents; animal stories, fantasies; fables; magical
stories; stories about everyday life--and more. Also included are an
introduction, capsule biographies of the 62 writers and artists represented in
the collection, color-coded running heads indicating age levels, and indexes.
As a gift, a keepsake, and a companion in a child's first steps toward a
lifelong love of reading, The 20th Century Children's Book Treasury
belongs in every family's bookcase.
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. Think of the advantages of carrying this book on a vacation instead of a suitcase of single titles! (Your kids can always revisit their dog-eared hardcovers when they get home.)
This impressive collection of concept books, wordless books, picture books, and read-aloud stories was artfully compiled by longtime children's book editor and publisher Janet Schulman. Stories are coded red, blue, and green to designate age groupings 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. The reason the book isn't bigger than Babar is because many of the illustrations from each story were reduced or removed to fit the anthology's format. (Leo Lionni's Swimmy, for example, takes up 5 pages total, compared to its original 29 pages.) Brief biographical notes that are surprisingly quirky shine a little light on the 62 authors and illustrators, and an index helps, too, for the child who likes one story best. We 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.
