The Oxford Nursery Treasuryby Ian Beck
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The Oxford Nursery Treasury is a collection of favourite stories and poems for young children, with beautiful illustrations by Ian Beck. There are stories about animals: "The Hare and the Tortoise" and "Chicken Licken"; and stories about people and magical adventures: "The Porridge Pot" and "The Princess and the Pea." The stories are accompanied by a wonderful choice of poetry. From nursery rhymes and songs to nonsense verse and lullabies, there are all kinds of favourite poems to be listened to, enjoyed, and remembered. Review:"Great for reading aloud to very young children, this is a lively collection of 4 folktales and 32 nursery rhymes, illustrated by Beck with big bright pictures that are as delightful and silly as the words." Booklist Review:"[T]here is something for everyone. Beck's glorious cross-hatch illustrations are so carefully planned that they look almost like fabric quilts." Publishers Weekly Synopsis:A collection of classic rhymes, songs, lullabies, and fairy tales, The Oxford Nursery Treasury collects the most-loved poetry and prose for young children in a single, beautifully illustrated volume. From the story of "The Hare and the Tortoise" to "The Porridge Pot," from "Bobby Shaftoe" to "Down With The Lambs", there is something here for everyone to enjoy. Stories about animals alternate with poems about magical adventures, which then give way to nursery rhymes, songs, and nonsense verse, followed by more tales about kings and princesses and heroes. Ian Beck's exquisite illustrations create an evocative childhood world which lingers in the imagination long after closing the book.
