Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Jack and Jill and The Three Little Pigs sit among the pieces collected in this first treasury for very young children.
Everything has been chosen for the earliest stage of reading together: short rhymes, familiar stories and large pictures that carry meaning on their own. The selection overlaps with what a child will later hear at nursery and school, so the book builds recognition rather than introducing something they will meet only once. It is the kind of volume that gets read hundreds of times in a couple of years.
What is collected here:
• Familiar rhymes including Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Jack and Jill.
• Short retellings such as The Three Little Pigs.
• Large, colourful pictures suited to pre-readers.
• A first-library volume for toddlers and nursery-age children.
Chosen with toddlers, nursery classes and gift-givers in mind, especially for a child's earliest bookshelf; published by Miles Kelly and available through Boipoka.
