Book Reviews of The 20th-Century Children's Book Treasury: Picture Books and Stories to Read Aloud
Book Review: A fine read for those "up-close" moments with the family.
Summary: 5 Stars
It's great to see such a wonderful presentation of children's stories in one publication. Books such as this and "Giving Love A Memory", by Winans & Lee, encourage strong traditional family bonds and good old fashioned togetherness. Straight to the heart and back, I recommend it highly for the home, and as a gift for friends and relatives.
Book Review: Well-designed, smart choices, real celebration, great gift
Summary: 5 Stars
There are all sorts of grown-up reasons to like this book -- it's beautifully done,the choices of the books that are included were wonderful (even found some new favorites), and it's an amazing bargain when you consider how many books are included. More importantly, though, this is already my young grand-daughter's favorite book to read with me -- she likes the D.W.,Tub People, and Owen stories especially, but really just enjoys listening to any part of the book. It's really a wonderfully done book -- a lot of fun, very beautiful, and a great summary of kids' books. Am planning on giving one to every child I know -- also for baby showers.Book Review: Wonderful - well worth the price.
