A Family Storybook Treasury: Tales of Laughter, Curiosity, and Fun

Eight classic picture books are reproduced, interspersed with poems, in this diverse yet harmonious keepsake collection. The selections—Curious George and the Firefighters, Lyle Walks the Dogs, Martha Speaks, and others—include their original artwork and share an upbeat, humorous tone. Readers can easily enjoy them in succession or skip around, while such poems as Calef Brown’s “The Egret,” Nickki Grimes’s “Cater­pillar,” and Kristine O’Connell George’s “Tree Horse” provide reflective pauses between stories. An audio CD is included. Ages 4–8. (Oct.)
