Reviews

I love this book! The poems and story collections are cute and illustrated beautifully. My sons and I were reading one a day and I would read again with them.

This collection is carefully curated and beautifully presented, as you can expect from a reliable children’s publisher. Ideal as a gift for young children and babies. They will get years of entertainment out of it.

All of the stories and rhymes included in this collection are totally suitable for children, because it does not contain any of the more problematic dark-themed or “classic“ rhymes that you might wish to avoid if the book is intended as a gift for someone else’s child. In other words, it’s a completely appropriate gift for a baby, toddler or young child.

The rhymes it does contain are mother goosey, popular and beloved, the likes of hickory dickory dock and humpty dumpty, with gorgeous illustrations by a variety of artists. It also includes some popular stories as well as rhymes, like Spot the dog, and Beatrix Potter’s characters.

A gorgeous volume with quality content, deserving of pride of place in a child’s nursery.

The Puffin Baby and Toddler Treasury (178 pages)

I was excited to find this title because I was on a quest to find a book for a very small town public library that had very festival books for children. The binding was nice and the pages are high quality with lots of colored illustrations.

As I began to read I became discouraged -- the version of THE THREE LITTLE PIGS that was included had the wolf eating the first two pigs and the third pig killing the wolf -- so I put it down without finishing it.

Not recommended for young readers.

Good stuff. I'll put a caveat with that. If you have a small child. But it's beautifully illustrated. Eclectically selected from tales old and new. And it's great for travelling with. You can make it a quick bed-time read. Or a longer one. The only thing that's missing is the extended remix of Twinkle Twinkle. And, the binding, at least on my copy, isn't very high quality. So be careful with it, mama and papa bear.

This was my favourite book as a baby/toddler. It was filled with beautiful illustrations and wonderful stories.
I got quite the 'blast from the past' when I came across it! Five stars.

I really like this one! It is full of favorite stories and rhymes, a number of them ones I recognize from childhood. I was so excited to share them with my own children. We will be revisiting this.
