Stechert. 1.80
This edition is chosen because of Monsieur Boutet de Monvel's charming
small illustrations in color. There are from two to eight pictures on
each page, accompanying the text, which is in verse. (p. 34)
As color appeals to the child before he has much notion of form,
his first picture-book should be colored, and as his ideas of
form develop slowly, his first pictures should be in outline, and
unencumbered with detail. The French illustrator, Boutet de
Monvel, has given us the ideal pictures for young children.

ADAPTED FROM GREAT AUTHORS
Blind Homer and the chief singer of Israel and skalds and bards
and minnesingers are all gone, tradition is almost a byword, but
mothers still live, and children need not wait until they have
conquered the crabbed types before they begin to love literature.
