Best book of poetry for young children,
By Hugh J. Crean (Olean, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eloise Wilkin's Poems to Read to the Very Young (Lap Library) (Board book)
This is the best collection of poems for children and the illustrations cannot be beat. Bought this book 20 years ago for grandchildren and now are buying more for their children. I am so glad it is back in print.

An excellent book, fabulous poems, fantastic illustrations,
By Corrie Getz (Cranberry Twp, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eloise Wilkin's Poems to Read to the Very Young (Lap Library) (Board book)
I love Golden Books, I grew up on them. When I got older I figured out why - Eloise Wilkin was the best illustrator! I had many of books with her illustratons. I used to think that they were actually about me, that is how wonderful her aristry is! When I found this book, I knew that I had to buy this for my baby. As it is, reading is one of the most important things that you can do for your baby, so I love to sit down and read the poems to my 8 month old son. This book just can't be beat.

Poems to Read to the Very Young,

This review is from: Eloise Wilkin's Poems to Read to the Very Young (Lap Library) (Board book)
I loved this book when I received a copy for my now 25 year old. I wanted this copy for his new baby daughter.
It is nice, and sturdy, so that a child can handle it. It is not an exact duplicate of the old edition, and some of my favorite poems and illustrations by Elouise Wilkins were missing. I don't know the reason for editing the original, but my son and I know the old one from memory. The baby and her Mom don't know the difference, and I managed to pull off a trade and get my old book back!
