Ages 1^-5. With selections from several great illustrated Mother Goose and children's poetry collections, this is the best of the Candlewick anthologies for very young children. Each double-page-spread is complete in itself, with singing rhymes and bouncing pictures from England, the Caribbean, and the U.S. The wonderful writers and illustrators include Shirley Hughes, Maurice Sendak (from I Saw Esau, 1992), Helen Oxenbury, and Arnold Lobel. There's lots of delightful nonsense verse (including a monster page from Colin McNaughton's Making Friends with Frankenstein [1994]), as well as action rhymes and lullabies for the lapsit audience. A good resource for librarians and also an introduction for parents to the original collections that these verses come from, books that make kids love the sound and beat of words. Hazel Rochman
