Description: CONDITION: UNREAD 1996 Little, Brown large hardcover (pictorial boards) & dust jacket (if I can find a mylar cover large enough, I will put it on the DJ - IF), first edition, 4th printing. Tiny edge wear top DJ edge due to height - really, tiny. Adorable color illustrations by Ms. Dyer. CONTENT: A lavishly illustrated anthology celebrates a child's early years with favorite nursery rhymes, soothing lullabies, and playful verses. Full color. (Baby/Preschool) Dyer surpasses her considerable achievements in other poetry collections with a volume that not only lives up to the "delectable" of the subtitle but has the power to entice youngest children to cherish the richness and diversity of both language and art. In each of seven categories-Playtime; Animals, Animals; Lullaby and Good Night; etc.-Dyer includes the best work of both traditional and contemporary poets together with pellucid watercolors that simply dazzle. She gives a faintly old-fashioned look to the faces of her multicultural cast; coupled with her bold and sophisticated designs, the images have a welcome air of timelessness and help create a view of a global community of children. Regardless of the complexity of the perspective or metaphors, Dyer grounds each illustration with details that indicate her unerring understanding of the sensibilities and interests of youngest children. This sumptuous book comes with an attached satin ribbon that will mark not only pages turned but the book's remarkable pleasures. Ages 1-5. Chapters: ABC, Shapes, Colors. 123; Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall; Food, Food, and More Food; Animals, Animals; Nursery Rhymes; Playtime; Lullaby & Good Night. Shipping via USPS media mail within 2 days of order. All books clean. Questions welcome & answered.
