This is a collection of fairy tales, but they are comics and slightly different than the tales they originate from. Most of the tales tend to be funny and cute. The one tale I really enjoyed was The Fisherman and The Sea Princess. It was really a nice story, but had a very sad ending. Overall, it wa...
My wife gave me this for Chrstimas present a couple of years ago. A wonderful collection of classic and modern verse set to music that is beautifully performed.
This is a retelling of one of my very favorite tales from childhood which I oringally encountered in Great Children's Stories as The Old Woman & Her Pig.

I'm always enchanted by her unique old fashioned illustrations. Here we have a diminutive, turn-of-the-century Jewish family (the Kle...
It's a real testament to Barbara McClintock that she can enthrall me with yet another telling of Cinderella. Here she has used the very familiar Charles Perrault version as her source. While I'm fascinated by all fairy tales, Cinderella in it's 'traditional' telling has always held minimal appeal f...
In my humble opinion Barbara McClintock is one of the most skilled children's book illustrators currently working. She is certainly one of the only ones currently working with old fashioned dip pens and ink. Her work is reminiscent of Kate Greenaway, but with a modern tongue-in-cheek flair. I'm s...
