Rhymes for Children : Story/Stickerbook, April 5, 2000
This review is from: Rhymes for Children with Sticker (Hardcover)
This book is a keepsake!
I bought this oversized book for a friend of mine who recently had a baby. It is gorgeously and generously (the pictures are full-page) illustrated (Jessie Wilcox Smith).
There are the old "standard" rhymes ("There was a little girl who had a little curl...") as well as some rhymes which I'd never heard before.
The layout is beautiful, with the rhyme or rhymes on one side and an illustration on the facing page. Around the rhymes are beautiful borders with gold gilding running throughout the design.
It has a very old-fashioned quality about it. The cover of the book has a beautiful picture and a cream ribbon accents the binding.
The only reason I rated the book a 4-star instead of a 5-star is that I don't understand why the publishers decided to include 2 full pages of stickers. The stickers are beautiful (they are taken from the illustrations within the book), but the book can stand on its own. The stickers, no doubt, will be used by the parents LONG before the child will ever even know they existed in their gorgeous little book.

Your child will not care about this book, December 16, 2010
This review is from: Rhymes for Children with Sticker (Hardcover)
This is the kind of book that grandparents get for their grandchildren. It is also a book that children universally ignore.
