pretty pictures but beware

Consumers be aware this is an old book & it reflects unfortunate stereotypical attitudes toward certain people. Not to our taste. Let the buyer beware.

Bouncing with delight

I've developed the habit of giving children's books at baby showers. I try to give a mix of rhyme, fairy tales and story books. I especially like to find books both parents and children will long treasure. The first time I found this book, I adored it so much it was hard to part with it. The illustrations are almost breath-takingly beautiful. I've given it away twice now but feared I might never be so fortunate as to stumble across this gem again. You cannot imagine my joy to find it here! I love that cover bears the same illustration as the dust jacket. On the down side, I wish there were a better mix of boys and girls in the artwork. There are some little boys but many more little girls. And there are no boys on the cover.
