Product Information

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 as Madeline and Curious George ; contemporary bestsellers such as Guess How Much I Love You and The Stinky Cheese Man ; Caldecott Medal winners such as Make Way for Ducklings and Where the Wild Things Are ; and family favorites such as Goodnight Moon , The Sneetches , Winnie-the-Pooh , and Alexander & The Terrible, No Good Very Bad Day , soon to be a motion picture. 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. This beautiful edition includes a recommended list of books published in the time since this anthology's original compilation, including Caldecott Honors Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus and Olivia , with descriptive annotations intended to guide parents to these new books and new voices of the 21st century. Also included are an introduction from editor Janet Schulman, 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 Treasury belongs in every family's bookcase.

A simply wonderful book that caters from baby onwards
This book is likely to become a treasured family read!!! How many books or story collections are currently on the market that cater to the different ages and abilities of your child in one single offering? Very few - as publishers want to encourage us to buy, buy, buy!! This is one book that will grow up with your child. This compilation features a whopping 44 stories, all selected by Janet Schulman who is a well respected Children's book editor and publisher! There are many stories and / or characters that will be familiar to children and adults; as stories range from the contemporary to old classics such as Babar and Curious George!! The next wonderful thing about this book is the unique color coding system that lets you know the age group to which is story is designed to appeal: Red - these are stories for the very youngest age group, baby - preschool! These stories are simple,and heavy on the illustrations to capture the child's attention and imagination. Examples include Goodnight Moon - a delightful classic and a calming bedtime read! Or I am a Bunny which is a journey through the four seasons with few words but bright vibrant artwork to get the story across! The second - blue tag - is based on the preschool picture book concept - again, lots of pictures but also a story that will captivate the child and maybe impart a lesson. A great example is the wonderful Chika Chika Boom Boom, which our toddler loves - a fun, busy, book which explores the alphabet or the warming Guess How much I Love You! Finally stories with the green tag, amke more use of text and feature much less - sometimes no ,illustrations. Not necessarily designed for the child to read themselves initially, but it does require a chil to listen more and pay attention for a longer time period - such as Winnie the Pooh Goes Visiting or Dr. Seuss' - The Sneetches! To find a book that will grow with your child or offer something for a household with children of different ages - is rare!! This is simply a treasure - and one I wish I had discovered long ago....many of the books we have bought are featured in this - so if you are looking to build a library quickly - this is a good, and indeed cheaper way to do it!! A must have for any family library!!Read full review

Great collection of classic children's books
As a retired teacher, I have read many of these books to my classes because of their high quality. Now, that I no longer have my story books, I bought this to read to my grandchildren. I am very impressed.

Worth every penny!
This book is truly a treasure! We already owned many of the books in this anthology, but having them all together in one volume is such a pleasure. We love to sit down and take turns choosing stories. There are no disappointments. My 4 year old daughter loves to leaf through this book at nap time and look at all of the beautiful and highly varied illustrations. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to instill a love of literature into a child.
