A propos de cet article

Fine unread condition color illustrated boards and faux leather spine with gold spine decorations and gold spine lettering. Includes Acknowledgments; List of Color Illustrations; Preface to This Illustrated Edition by Claire Booss, Series Editor, 1990;; Foreword by Patricia Barrett Perkins, Baltimore, Maryland, 1990; and Editorial Note. Illustrated with the original color plates from the 1923 Dodd, Mead & Company publication. "Parents of tiny tots, attention! Do you love to watch your toddler explore the wonders of the physical world? Does the child in you awake on a soft spring morning when the air is alive with the fresh aroma of flowers bursting into bloom? Do you feel a sense of joy in taking your youngster by the hand or in a stroller to the park on a quiet morning when older children are all in school? And, are you able to stifle your inhibitions while reading to your preschool child and quack like a duck, moo like a cow, or gobble like a turkey, or grunt like a pig? Will you tweet like a bird? (For you are actually instructed to do so by the authors of this book while you are reading aloud from it.) But most of all, do you love to read to your child? If you can say "yes" to most of the above, then A Very Little Child's Book of Stories is a must for your children's library. This collection of stories and poems has been gathered, in part, from a variety of children's books and, in part, written by Ada M. and Eleanor L. Skinner themselves. In their search for material for the very little child, the Skinner sisters have selected three categories in which to concentrate their efforts; the world of nature (the out of doors), stories and poems with Mother Goose characters and settings (if not Mother Goose tales themselves), and stories and poems that center about familiar things and relate the kind of simple incidents that occur in the everyday life of the little child.But above all, and throughout the book, Grandmother and Grandfather are deeply revered: it is a pleasure to find this sentiment so strongly reinforced here.It hs been more than half a century since this book was first published. That is far too long a hiatus for one which answers so many urgent needs of the toddler, parent, and grandparent: love of nature, gentle instuction in the values of growing up and the avoidance of its potential pitfalls, meeting and enjoying characters one already knows in new situations, cementing the family bonds and revering our elders while emphasizing the sense of peace that moral behavior and adherence to family ties brings. Finally, it offers the pleasure that even tiny tots can gain from the written word - a pleasure which will grow and enrich their lives for their entire lives!" - Patricia Barrett Perkins, Baltimore, Maryland, 1990 - excerpt from the Foreword.…

Description de la boutique

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
