5.0 out of 5 stars Classic! February 28, 2009
By Teacher
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
A very sweet collection of books I remember reading in the 70s. My pet peeve is that the contents are never listed in these anthologies, so here they are:
Busy Timmy, Guess Who Lives Here, My LGB About God, Wonders of Nature, selections from A Child's Garden of Verses, We Help Mommy, Baby Listens, Baby Dear, Baby Looks, "Little Boy Blue," "At Sunset"

4.0 out of 5 stars a sweet and gentler time February 23, 2006
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love this beautiful book filled with images from a simpler, gentler time. I remember Eloise Wilkin stories that I used to look at as a little girl, that used to be my mother's books. So this book is very nostalgic for me. I gave it a 4 since

it left out her book "Prayers for Children" that I just love. I think this is a wonderful book to present to children today, as it shows loving families, and an affirmation that God loves his children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfection! January 16, 2007
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book when my little boy turned one...I loved the drawings and stories. Such sweet tales here, such as "Busy Timmy", "We Help Mommy" and "Baby Listens". My son will soon be two and this is one of his favorite books! Even when we're not reading it to him, he loves to hold it in his lap, flip the pages and look at the pictures. Wilkin's drawings are so wonderful -- the way the babies have the chubby cheeks and huge eyes - so true to life! This is really a must have for every child's library.
