Synopses & Reviews
Everybody who is in love will want to give this book of romantic thoughts to the special person in their life. The title is an allusion to a love poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, but the kittens shown in color photos throughout this handsome little volume are strictly Shakespearean. One contented-looking pussycat rests inside a jewelry box where he is surrounded by pearls. The facing page cites a quotation from The Taming of the Shrew: "We will have rings, and things, and fine array:/ And kiss me, Kate, we will be married o' Sunday." There are 42 delightful kitten photos in total, each accompanied by a quotation from one of Shakespeare's poems or plays, among them, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, The Tempest, Love's Labor's Lost, Romeo and Juliet, and other immortal works. Here is a witty and entertaining gift item filled with delightful illustrations and romantic lines of poetry that still ring true after 400 years.
Synopsis
This Spanish-language book is one in a series of four entertaining What Do You Know About? books, for very young children whose first language is Spanish. Attractive color illustrations and easy-to-follow text combine to present factual information that younger boys and girls will readily absorb and understand. Tu ¡rbol geneal³gico, which is Spanish for "Your Family Tree," describes all the people that small children first come to know: parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, and cousins. Four pages presenting activities for children appear at the back of the book, followed by a two-page section for parents, with tips on explaining the subject in more detail.
