The four stars are for Fujikawa's illustrations -- I really love the style. Looks retro -- but that's because it is retro! Poems are uneven quality, and I'm not sure about reading Babes in the Woods to preschoolers, but some are really charming -- "Happiness is a goeey mud puddle," "Susie's secrets" about secret places, and "Guess What?" bout the imagination & pretend play.

This was a very cute picture book with several short stories and beautiful illustrations. My dad gave it to me to find a few moments of respite in a stressful day, and it provided just that!

It feels funny to rate an old picture book but it was my fave as a child, so...

Another beautiful book by Ms. Fujikawa.
This book, like many of her other books, is perfect for identifying and counting and searching. I love her artwork!

So grateful my Mom bought and read this book to me endlessly in 1977. Children are most definitely made readers (and sometimes librarians!) on the laps of their parents. :-)

I found this book at the Goodwill and bought it for the beautiful pictures. I read it last night and was completely blown away. A listing of "jingles" includes the classics "Marguerite, go wash your feet, the Board of Health's across the street" and "Christopher Columbus, what do you think of that? A big fat lady sat on my hat!" There's a sad story of two children who wandered into the woods, got lost, laid down, and died. There's the enticing, "Turn the page to see a dream come true for some animal lovers..." (there was a dream come true on the next page!) And the advice that it's okay to do mean or mischievous things, as long as you apologize after. AMAZING.

I still have to spend some time perusing this with my grandkids, but I adore all the illustrations and little bits of verse and rhyme.
