I'm turning once again to my trusty Childcraft Library which is chock full of great vintage illustrations from many beloved illustrators of the past. The combination of photograph and illustration is kitschy and sweet. I have to say as the mother of four that I don't recall many photographic moments like this lol. Illustration by Eloise Wilken and photo from Tell City Chair Company. This one isn't too hard to guess. Pen and ink work by Garth Williams with his distinctive gentle animals and characters. This one I wouldn't have guessed. My first thought was Feodor Rojankovsky as the illustrator, but it's not. Anyone care to guess? I also wouldn't have been able to guess this one, though I love his work. The illustrator is Nicolas Mordvinoff. Illustrator is Eraldo Carugati - anyone familiar with this artist? Artwork by Hope Taylor from Highway, Byway and City Rhymes Art by Vladimir Bobri Wonderful illustration by Maurice Sendak The distinctive work of Virginia Lee Burton Illustrator Ezra Jack Keats The Little Land When at home alone I sit, And am very tired of it, I have just to shut my eyes To go sailing through the skies-- To go sailing far way To the pleasant Land of Play.

Children are fantastic! They always captivate and surprise us with their great words of wisdom, their wonderful imaginations and all the great things that they do, just some of which have been captured in this excellent collection of poems. 'Raps and Rhymes about Primary School Times: A Children's Poetry Anthology' is cleverly written through the eyes of both children and teachers and it captures, brilliantly, the learning, the fun and the stories that take place in primary schools every day. The poems are rhythmic, bouncy and entertaining and contain an excellent balance of humour, empathy and pathos. The anthology includes raps, narrative poems, limericks, riddles and rhyming tales which provide a rich and humorous insight into school life. This Children's Poetry Anthology is a must for every classroom - for both children and teachers alike - and a must for every household with children, young and old!

We grew up with very little but I don't think for the most part we knew how little materially we had. But we did have parents that loved us and gave us what they had the most... lots of love. Our family library wasn't that big. We each had our own library card and Mom made sure we had books to read. The few books in our family collection were probably hand me downs from other families or relatives. Mom read to us and we had many of those books memorized. One of those books was a 1920 edition of The New Winston Readers, The Primer by Firman and Maltby. I think, maybe, that it was given to us by "Uncle Sam" Beers who was the husband of Amy Brooksby, my Grandfather Booksby's sister. Uncle Sam is a story all in itself. If anyone knows where the book came from, please let me know. I loved those stories in this book and especially the illustrations by Frederick Richardson. When we cleaned out Mom and Dad's house, after we moved them to Utah, I put this book in my boxes of fond memories. When I later looked at the book I realized that it was in much worse shape than I remembered. Others had loved the book too. That is when I began to look for a replacement. I located a 1928 Edition of The New Winston Primer on eBay and bought it as it seemed to have the same stories and illustrations. I was pleased to find this new copy was in much better condition than our family copy. I decided that I wanted to preserve and share this new copy with my family and any others that might also be searching for good memories. The books are very similar but have some differences that I will explain later. Enjoy... (I found that the best way to read these books is to double click on the first picture and it will come up full sized and then using the arrow right key you can scroll through the pages. Be sure and look at my list of my blog archives on the right of this screen to read the 1920 edition changes.)

On this page are nine images of Mother Goose with drawings of Mother Goose flying through the air, surrounded by children, and as an actual goose.

I don't know about you, but my kids are tired of being stuck inside. Especially since, for us, being inside is limited to less than 200 sq. feet. Yesterday, they had a lot of energy that needed to be used because they were using it for all the wrong things. (aka...not a good day). The #PlayfulPreschool is doing nursery rhymes this week, so I thought jumping over some 'candlesticks' would make for a good nursery rhyme gross motor activity. Shiloh thought so too!

A collection of poems and rhymes about childhood activities, flowers, animals, and seasons

Hello Goodbye by Amy LV Click the arrow to hear me read this poem to you. Students - In our old neighborhood, there lived a man who walked backwards. Up and down the sidewalks he would go, fast and without talking. We didn't know him, but we wondered about him. Today, ten years later, I find myself still wondering about him. When I sat to write on a blank piece of paper, he appeared. Why? I'm not sure. It may because we were talking about him the other day. It may because I've been reading THE BIG ORANGE SPLOT by D. Manus Pinkwater, first published in 1977, aloud a lot lately. This book celebrates living in your own way, and I admire people who do that. Sometimes when we see something different, our first reaction is to dislike it or to make fun of it or to turn away. But if we think more deeply, we will often have a different reaction, perhaps one of admiration. Do you know someone who may seem unusual in some way? What can you find to admire? What can you learn? What can you write? (Remember not to write something that will hurt someone else; words are powerful.) Shop Indie Bookstores The structure of this poem is quite simple. It's written in a conversational style, almost as if the speaker is telling you a secret. And there's a bit of rhyme too. You may have noticed that the whole first part, the first nine lines, pretty much describe the backwards-walking-man. But as the poem zeroes in toward the ending, in those last four lines....you see the connection in the speaker's heart.

Children often tell the funniest of stories--or they at least tell them in funny ways. Nothing for them is too serious, and nothing seems impossible. Imagination is their license to dream big, far, and wide. It can be difficult for adults to find that mindset, but it's not impossible. In Sunny, With A Chance Of Poetry, author Sunny Deo seeks to re-enter the world of children, making up for time lost in the adult world. This collection of rhymes includes poems of varying lengths, complete with hints, messages, and morals. Deo also includes illustrations that highlight the nonsensical to life, with stories and concepts you might not normally imagine--unless you're normally abnormal. Featuring verses that are cute, funny, silly, cheerful, and absurd, Sunny, With A Chance Of Poetry provides an opportunity for children of all ages to engage their imaginations. Eggset I call it an eggset When the sun meets the ocean, 'Cause even the sky prefers The sunny-side-up option.

"Oxford Book of Poetry for Children" compiled by Edward Blishen, illustrated by Brian Wildsmith (1963). Featured in My Retro Reads: A blog celebrating the beauty of vintage children's books.

Mother Goose Rhymes (the second half of the book) Copyright 1943 The Saalfield Publishing Co. Uh oh, I have naturally curly hair but I don't think I was ever horrid? I love this Little Maiden poem. A row of sun faced flowers. Not an inch on this page was spared. An image I would never tire of. This Thursday child has far to go... I knew there were more lines to this poem...so sweet. The schedule I am keeping in May has me late to the party. I think Corey will let me in anyway. Follow me over and see the other Lil' Vintage Story Books.
