Purchase options and add-ons

A true masterpiece of book design and illustration for beginning readers, this collection pairs well-known nursery tales with uniquely beautiful period illustrations that look as fresh and vital today as they did six decades ago, when the book was first published in Great Britain. Never before published in the United States, My First Nursery Book features four beloved stories: “Who Killed Cock Robin?,” “The Gingerbread Man,” “Three Little Pigs,” and “The Three Bears.” Franciszka Themerson, a Polish avant-garde artist and filmmaker who returned to children’s book illustration as a refugee in London in the 1940s, is regarded as one of the great talents in classic children’s book illustration. Finally, American children can experience and enjoy this remarkable volume, filled with stunning illustrations that will bring a new audience to Themerson’s genius.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique take on classic stories
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2013
I love this collection! Who Killed Cock Robin is a strange story, but it's at least different than the old stand-bys. The other three are written in an old fashioned way and actually trip me up sometimes while I'm reading to my boys. I think that letting them hear various ways of speaking can only help their understanding of the English language and help them to be better communicators in the future.

FYI - the little pigs get eaten up in this version.

Overall - good nursery rhyme fun!
