A collection of twelve picture book classics, together in one volume, presented for the enjoyment of young and old alike.

Many timeless favorites are included here: the beloved “Good Night Moon,” the wisdom of “William’s Doll,” the enchantment of “Caps For Sale.” Authors include Eric Carle, Russell Hoban, Crockett Johnson, and Robert Kraus. Following each story is a short biography of the author and the illustrator, a note about the book, and some suggestions for further activities related to the story.

Highly Recommended. (

too bad it's so heavy! (

Well narrated and beautifully illustrated, this one book is a volume of 12 classics. This is a heavy book in weight, and in ideas and concepts to discuss. (
