Book Description
Full of character and humor, Helen Oxenbury’s all-in-one baby book offers a winsome introduction to the world of seeing, hearing, touching, and doing.
Helen Oxenbury’s board books have delighted a generation of babies.
Now from this most widely loved of artists comes a combined feast for
the senses: a pudgy baby touches a cat, a beard, and a blanket; he hears a bird sing, a dog bark, and a watch tick; he sees a flower, an airplane, and the moon; and he can jump, stretch, and dance, creating
his own new wonders. Babies are fascinated by other babies just like them - and Helen Oxenbury’s delightful illustrations get to the heart of their
ever-expanding world.

"We're going on a bear hunt. / We're going to catch a big one. / What a beautiful day! / We're not scared." So begins Michael Rosen's award-winning read-aloud romp We're Going on a Bear Hunt. In this lovely boxed gift edition illustrated by Helen Oxenbury, a small paperback version of the book is packaged with the softest, most fabulous little brown bear we've ever seen. Reenacting "Splash splosh! Splash splosh! Splash splosh!" across the river is much more fun with an actual bear on hand. (Ages 4 and older)

Grade 2 Up–In this delightful companion to Oxenbury's illustrated version of Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Candlewick, 1999), Alice now wears black tights and a white long-sleeved shirt to suit the winter setting (Without, the frost, the blinding snow,/The storm-wind's moody madness–/Within, the firelight's ruddy glow,/And childhood's nest of gladness). Leaving the cozy room behind, she steps through the looking glass and into a world depicted in warm watercolors, sepia-toned illustrations, and line drawings. Not a word of the original tale has been altered. The artwork echoes the whimsy of the language, clearly showing Alice's amusement at the antics of Tweedledum and Tweedledee, her frustration at the impossibility of slicing a Looking-glass cake, her affection for the gentle... |

PreSchool-Grade 1–Oxenbury works her magic with a lovely sampling of nursery favorites from three of her earlier titles: Tiny Tim (Delacorte, 1982), Cakes and Custards (Morrow, 1975; o.p.), and The Helen Oxenbury Nursery Story Book (Random, 1987; o.p.). This offering includes 5 nonsense verses, 12 nursery rhymes, and 7 well-known tales–just enough variety to provide a satisfying introduction to the genres. Illustrations, while not consistent in style throughout, match the mood of each piece. The stories all feature Oxenbury's trademark winsome pencil-and-watercolor pictures. They include such favorites as "Little Red Riding Hood," "Henny-Penny," and "The Three Little Pigs," and are retold with drama and humor while staying close to the feel of the original versions.

A talented team ingeniously up-ends the classic tale of the three little pigs, and the laugh-out-loud results begin with the opening illustration--a mother wolf lounges in bed, her hair in curlers and her toenails freshly polished, with her three fluffy, cuddly offspring gathered round. The wolf siblings, amply warned about the big bad pig, construct their first house of sturdy brick, a medium which resists the pig's huffing and puffing but is no match for his sledgehammer. Their abodes become progressively more fortress-like, and the pig's implements of destruction, correspondingly, grow heftier, until the wolves try another tack and weave a house of flowers. The fragrance so intoxicates and tames the pig that he and the wolves live together happily ever after. In his English-language debut (see note, p. 55),... |

From Publishers Weekly
A baby boy is showered with love from his relatives as the clan gathers for a celebration in this exuberant picture book. The baby waits at the window with Mom, not "doing anything... nothing really," when, one by one, family members ring the doorbell and make a grand entrance. Auntie Bibba wants to squeeze the baby, Uncle Didi wants to kiss him, Nannie and Gran-Gran want to eat him and the baby's cousins want to fight him-all because they love him SO much. Once the house is "full, full, full," Dad walks in-and gets a real surprise. Cooke's (When I Grow Bigger) bubbly language works perfectly with her cumulative structure to take full advantage of the excitement and suspense of each new arrival. She also occasionally adopts African American dialect ("He flip-flap him over till he nearly drop him"), which may... |

PreS Each of these board books consists of four double-page illustrations with a brief rhyming action verse. Chubby little toddlers engaged in a variety of activities spill off the pages in lively arrangements. Close-up views show multi-ethnic babies playing, bathing, eating, swinging, sleeping, etc. The watercolors, in bright pastels with pencil outline, are clear and appealing on a white background. The primary disadvantage of this set is the oversize format (8 square). Tots will find these books hard to hold in their hands, and turning the pages will be frustrating. Older preschoolers who could manipulate the pages will find little story or plot to hold their interest. However, with an adult or older child turning the pages, these books will be enjoyed by the intended audience. Nancy Kewish, Cuyahoga... |
