Summary

The New York Review Children''s Collection began in 2003 in an attempt to reward readers who have long wished for the return of their favorite children's titles and to introduce those books to a new generation. The line publishes picture books for preschoolers through to chapter books and novels for older children. Praised for their elegant design and sturdy bindings, these books set a new standard for the definition of a "classic." Among the 52 titles included in this collection you will find Esther Averill''s time-honored Jenny and the Cat Clubseries; several titles by the award-winning team of Ingri and Edgar Parin d''Aulaire, including their Book of Norse Mythsand Book of Animals; James Thurber''s The Thirteen Clocksand The Wonderful O, both with illustrations by Marc Simont; Daniel Pinkwater's weird and wacky Lizard Music;Alison Uttley's time-travel classic A Traveller in Time; and Palmer Brown's intricately illustrated books Beyond the Pawpaw Treesand holiday favorite Something for Christmas.
