She has selected 15–some by brand-new voices of the 21st century, some by young authors and illustrators who were just getting started during the last decade of the past century, and a few by familiar names, such as Kevin Henkes with his 2005 Caldecott Medal Winner. This recommended list with descriptive annotations is intended to guide parents to these new books and new voices of the 21st century.
Unparalleled in scope and quality and designed for reading aloud and sharing, this splendid anthology brings together some of the most memorable and beloved children's books of our time. Here are classics such asMadeline andCurious George; contemporary bestsellers such asGuess How Much I Love YouandThe Stinky Cheese Man; Caldecott Medal winners such asMake Way for DucklingsandWhere the Wild Things Are; and family favorites such asGoodnight Moon,The Sneetches, andWinnie-the-Pooh. The selections range from concept books and wordless books to picture books and short read-aloud stories, and represent the complete array of childhood themes and reading needs: ABCs, number and color books, stories about going to bed and going to school; tales about growing up, siblings, parents, and grandparents; animal stories, fantasies; fables; magical stories; stories about everyday life--and more. Also included are an introduction, capsule biographies of the 62 writers and artists represented in the collection, color-coded running heads indicating age levels, and indexes. As a gift, a keepsake, and a companion in a child's first steps toward a lifelong love of reading,The 20th Century Children's Book Treasurybelongs in every family's bookcase.编辑推荐Believe it or not, 44 complete read-aloud classics and future classics--fromGoodnight MoontoStellaluna--are packed in this remarkably svelte, positively historic anthology. Flipping through the 308 pages ofThe 20th-Century Children's Book Treasuryis like browsing a photo album of beloved friends and family. The familiar faces of Curious George and Ferdinand the Bull peer earnestly from the pages, and scenes fromMadelineandMillions of Catsresonate as if you just experienced them yesterday. Think of the advantages of carrying this book on a vacation instead of a suitcase of single titles! (Your kids can always revisit their dog-eared hardcovers when they get home.)This impressive collection of concept books, wordless books, picture books, and read-aloud stories was artfully compiled by longtime children's book editor and publisher Janet Schulman. Stories are coded red, blue, and green to designate age groupings from baby/toddler books such asWhose Mouse Are You?, through preschool books such asWhere the Wild Things Are, to longer stories for ages 5 and older such asAlexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.The reason the book isn't bigger than Babar is because many of the illustrations from each story were reduced or removed to fitthe anthology's format. (Leo Lionni'sSwimmy, for example, takes up 5 pages total, compared to its original 29 pages.) Brief biographical notes that are surprisingly quirky shine a little light on the 62 authors and illustrators, and an index helps, too, for the child who likes one story best. We love the idea of being within easy reach of a Star-Belly Sneetch, a William Steig donkey, and a Sendak monster at all times, and we're sure your little bookworms will, too.
