Format:Board book
We just weeded this book out of our collection.
While thiswould be an otherwise charming book, there are simply too many pageswith the characters toting guns.
This is not meant to be censorship.But we feel kids are exposed to guns everywhere in our culture, so whynot filter a few out when we can?
Let's reward the writers andpublishers who print gun-free books.
There are SO MANY wonderfulbooks for kids out there. We're taking the small step of weeding outbooks with guns until our kids are a bit older.

Format:Board book
Part "I Spy," part nursery rhyme, this intricately illustrated book unites classic characters such as Tom Thumb, Mother Hubbard and Bo-Peep. Ahlberg writes in clever but simple rhymes, making the text easy to memorize. All the better to concentrate on the figures hiding in the pictures!

Format:Paperback
I have been ordering this book for 20 years and sending it or giving it to the newborns in my world. I did not know that there is a tiny version of it - about 4 by 6 inches- This is what amazon sent me and it is very disappointing as it does not do this wonderful book justice.
