Lovely Illustrations & Sweet Stories

I love Eloise Wilkins beautiful illustrations. Her stories ring true with old-fashioned values and loving relationships. These are the kind of books I want my children and grandchildren to read.

Perfection!

I bought this book when my little boy turned one...I loved the drawings and stories. Such sweet tales here, such as "Busy Timmy", "We Help Mommy" and "Baby Listens". My son will soon be two and this is one of his favorite books! Even when we're not reading it to him, he loves to hold it in his lap, flip the pages and look at the pictures. Wilkin's drawings are so wonderful -- the way the babies have the chubby cheeks and huge eyes - so true to life! This is really a must have for every child's library.

memorable

This is a wonderful collection, brought tears to my eyes to actually have this copy in my hands again! I plan to buy more for gifts.

Beautifully illustrated

Eloise Wilkin has been a favorite since I was a child, we treasured our Little Golden Books and passed some down to our own children, my daughters especially loved the illustrations of the little children . Now I am buying them for my grandchildren, this book is beautifully bound and includes some of her best work. Mrs. Wilkin creates a lovely, serene and happy family atmosphere that children and adults relate to and enjoy. Our grandchildren are the third generation to thrill to these books.
