Child's Picture Book is one of those rare gems, a copy of which everyone should own. On the face of it, this unassuming book of few pages seems as if it was meant for children. On closer inspection, however, it is soon realized that though the words of the poems in this book are simple, there is a certain maturity peeking through the rhyme.
Filled with illustrations, the general theme of Child's Picture Book revolves around flowers. The book opens with a beautiful rhyme below a detailed illustration of a garden followed by three separate poems. The first is a generic poem that highlights the many qualities of flowers. The second poem focusses on a particular type of flower known as the Forget-me not while the last poem is a dialogue between a mother and child on the very existence of flowers.
Almost each page of Child's Picture Book has an intricate illustration alongside the poetry which greatly enhances the visual of appeal of this book. In essence, this book is so valuable primarily because of its simplicity. The poems flow effortlessly and are bound to impress children and adults alike. Whether for connoisseurs of poetry or just the casual enthusiast, Child's Picture Book is a definite must have.
