Trying to make children’s books more authentic and less stereotype-ridden isn’t censorship
Oh, for a nook and a story-book, With tales both new and old; For a jolly good book whereon to look Is better to me than gold. —OLD ENGLISH SONG. "The Child's World Third Reader" by Hettie S. Browne, Sarah Withers, and WK Tate. The Johnson Publishing Co., Richmond VA. Found at www.gutenberg.org/files/15170/15170-h/15170-h.htm.
A beautiful cry for mercy, for light, and for resurrection of the human spirit at a time of incomprehensible heartbreak.

Rating: Flotsam, my first wordless picture book, feels age inappropriate. From what I gather picture books are generally aimed at 3 to 8-year-olds. I have doubts a child in that range would be abl…

Dear Annie, Doonesbury: what a great idea. I know I did an about-face in my last post: from jazz and rhythm for toddlers to war for pre-teens. Sorry about that (to use a Vietnam War-coined phrase). So now that I've scanned a few pictures from music books into my computer, I'll lurch back to little ones and music. You hit the two of the best books on rhythm, so I want to move on to more classical fare. Starting with the delightfully illustrated Zin! Zin! a Violin by Lloyd Moss. It introduces ten instruments, one page at a time, starting with the trombone: With mournful moan and silken tone, Itself along comes ONE TROMBONE. Gliding, sliding, high notes go low; ONE TROMBONE is playing SOLO.I can imagine your household, with your talent for accents and singing. Next, the trumpet, giving the enthusiastic feel of Marjorie Priceman's pictures: It goes on through cello, harp, clarinet and more. Then they file onto a stage, and play: The STRINGS all soar, the REEDS implore, The BRASSES roar with notes galore. It's music that we all adore. It's what we go to concerts for.A happy line of hand-holding cats, dog, and a mouse boogie across the bottom of the page. And speaking of concerts, I'm ending with my favorite book for young concert-goers: The Philharmonic Gets Dressed by Karla Kuskin. It fits into the tradition of Ramona wondering about Mike Mulligan going to the bathroom. In this one, we follow the getting-ready rituals of many of the 105 members of an orchestra: First they get washed. There are ninety-two men and thirteen women. Many take showers. A few take baths. Two men and three women run bubblebaths, and one man reads in the tub while the cat watches. One woman sits in the bubbles and sings.They dry off, put on underwear (boxers and briefs for the men, and an array of early '80s underwear for the women), each step with Marc Simont's illustrations of six or more people, each doing things slightly differently: There are ties and overcoats and saying goodbye and getting transportation to the concert hall. The book ends with "the man with the black and white wavy hair" (we've been following him too) stepping onto the podium, raising his baton, and starting the music. What I love about this book is that it takes seriously all those little steps which can dominate parts of the day for small children, and which adults tend not to mention much (see Miss Binney, in Ramona quote referenced above). And it turns a somewhat confusing crowd of grown-ups into people who put on their pants (mostly) one leg at a time. Love, Deborah
Finding the perfect book for your little one's collection? Pretty easy. Finding one that fits a very specific guideline? Not always so easy. Children's books come in all forms and while there are plenty out there that promote diversity, feminism,…

Postcard by V. Litvinenko (1971)
AR012 - Entitled : "A beautiful little girl clad in rich garments stood there on the threshold smiling" PRODUCT VIDEO ⇒ https://bit.ly/3kZGsed This genuine original 1911 print is from the children’s book "Undine" written by De La Motte Fouque and illustrated by Arthur Rackham. The book was published as a second impression of the 1st Edition published in 1912; it is signed in plate by ”Arthur Rackham 09 (or 1909)”, so it is a first edition image. The design itself is on a medium weight paper and measures 6.75 x 5 inches (17 x 13 cm). It is published mounted on a stout card with a light green coloured background and a border design surrounding it. There is a tissue guard bearing the title of the image. The whole page measures c 9.5 x 7.25 inches (25.5x 18.5 cm). The image is in superb condition retaining its original delicate colours and no evidence of foxing or discolouration. The print could be mounted either by itself or as it is, preserving its antique character. It is sold mounted only on its card, but an image is provided as an example of its appearance when matted and framed. The series of images are of a much softer nature and contain more pastel shades when compared with other examples of Rackham’s work, notably “The Ring Of The Niblung” series. They are truly delightful! Illustrated by Arthur Rackham, who is regarded as one of the greatest of the 'Golden Age' book illustrators from Victorian / Edwardian times. This is a scarce first edition print. Your purchase is this original plate; I do not deal in modern reprints, reproductions or copies. There is only 1 shipping fee that includes multiple purchases.

Cora and Mama work together to cook up pancit for the family in this celebration of Filipino heritage and foods.Cora loves being in the kitchen, but she always gets stuck doing the kid jobs like licking the spoon. One day, however, when her older sisters and brother head out, Cora finally gets the chance to be Mama's assistant chef. And of all the delicious Filipino dishes that dance through Cora's head, she and Mama decide to make pancit, her favorite noodle dish. With Mama's help, Cora does the grown-up jobs like shredding the chicken and soaking the noodles (perhaps Mama won't notice if she takes a nibble of chicken or sloshes a little water on the floor). Cora even gets to stir the noodles in the pot-carefully-- while Mama supervises. When dinner is finally served, her siblings find out that Cora did all their grown-up tasks, and Cora waits anxiously to see what everyone thinks of her cooking. Dorina Lazo Gilmore's text delightfully captures the warmth between mother and daughter as they share a piece of their Filipino heritage. With bright and charming illustrations by Kristi Valiant, Cora's family comes alive as Cora herself becomes the family's newest little chef.
