Bygone days and childhood innocence

Riley's poetry is especially enjoyable when read aloud-The Bear Story alone is worth the price of this book-Indiana Magazine of History, Vol. 107, no. 1, March 2011


Thoughtful and charming after all these years, and accompanied by plenty of nostalgic hand drawn pictures of the era, Riley Child-Rhymes with Hoosier Pictures is a choice collection, highly recommended. -Wisconsin Press Bookwatch, December 2010


Charming, endearing, enduring; these 39 poems by James Whitcomb Riley touch heart, mind, soul. Vignettes of childhood a century ago, their humanity endures and connects. -Nuvo Newsweekly, December 8, 2010
