This treasury gathers forty-four of the most memorable and best-loved children's books of our time into one sumptous, beautifully produced volume. Classics, contemporary bestsellers, medal winners and family favourites chosen from over the last one hundred years are brought together in a collection designed for sharing and reading aloud. There are concept books, picture books and short read-aloud stories, representing the complete range of childhood themes and reading needs: ABCs, number and colour books, stories about going to bed and going to school, siblings, parents, and grandparents and much more. Each story is handsomely reproduced with its original illustrations and coded, as a guide to age range and reading level.
