Imagine a baby on the verge of learning to speak. Great book that is recommended for children of any generation, and adults to look back on for fun as well as to appreciate the nice art and ideas of Richard Scarry.The Symbolism of Trains In Literature | SLAP HAPPY LARRY The Witch of Hissing Hill by Mary Calhoun, illustrated by Janet McCaffery (1964) Where Do Magic Words Come From? All situations are played out for laughs yet serve as an early educational tool. All objects are also word-labeled in order to teach children the connection between them and the way they are used in the scenarios with the animals (such as an animal using a toothbrush to brush his teeth or animals using a fire engine to help out a fire).Īdults will find amusement in the many stories and scenarios portrayed in the book, ranging from a robber in Paris running away from the police and then having dinner with them after being caught, to an entire two-page spread of a funny traffic jam that is meant to show children the different types of vehicles such as a lorry and a small car. Despite the fact that cartoon animals are seen everywhere, the attention to detail in their environment and objects such as automobiles and clothing are stunning for a children's book of this kind. I first read this book a long time ago as a child, and absolutely loved the creativity in the artwork and the subtle lessons taught. And "Is this the House of Mistress Mouse?" I could go on and on, there are so many fun and unusual stories and interesting pages.įun reading for young ones, and great nostalgia for adults! I also love "Polite Elephant," who "knows the right things to say and do." And the counting story, "Whisper in My Ear." They have to whisper so they won't wake the baby mice but the baby mice are jumping on the bed. In fact, this one was replaced in the later versions. You don't see children's stories like that anymore.
It talks about him hunting seals, and Mrs.
(A daddy.) These longer stories weren't my favorite, except for the story "Pierre Bear," which is funny because it's so very politically incorrect. And "The Bunny Book" by Patricia Scarry, where everyone asks Baby Bunny what he wants to be when he grows up. It shows the bunny in four different seasons. Little Miss really liked "I am a Bunny" by Ole Risom. Legomeister spent hours pouring over all the vehicle pictures, and we loved to read the nursery rhymes and stories. It's missing the cover and some outside pages. This book was my husband's when he was a child.
