Nursery Treasury

Rhymes and short tales that have been passed down for generations are gathered here in a single illustrated treasury. The collection mixes nursery verse with familiar fairy tales, which means an adult can move from a thirty-second rhyme to a longer story depending on how much patience is left in the room. Rhythm and repetition do the early-literacy work: children pick up the beat first, then the words, then the sense. Illustrations run throughout, giving young listeners something to hold their eyes while they listen. Contents at a glance: • Traditional nursery rhymes alongside well-known tales. • Pieces of varying length for different reading moments. • Illustration on every spread to hold a listener's attention. • A single volume that replaces several thinner picture books. Suited to babies through early primary age and to the parents, grandparents and teachers reading to them; published by Miles Kelly and available from Boipoka.
