Eloise Wilkin Stories Little Golden Book Treasury

Customer Reviews

My 17-month old will sit through this entire anthology!

2008-01-12
My toddler loves Eloise Wilkin's illustrations-- they clearly make the "babies" (as he calls them, whether they are or not) very sympathetic. He will ask frantically for the "baby stories," and start begging for more when we get to the penultimate page of whichever one we're reading. Some of the books selected for the anthology are a bit long/wordy/tedious for a very young child, but half are suitable for even the youngest. I was sorry to see that "We Help Daddy" was not included along with "We Help Mommy," but that's my only complaint.

Beautiful book, takes you back in time

I bought the book for Baby Dear (which is out of print as a single book) and was so delighted with the other stories and illustrations. My 14 month old started cooing and giggling as soon as she saw the pictures - I'm sure it will be a favorite for years to come.

Classics that modern day children love

My daughter has LOVED this book since she was about 20 months old. There are great stories for toddlers, plus a few more advanced ones to "grow on." The illustrations are just lovely, and you'll find ideas and concepts that just aren't being taught today. A good example is "We Help Mommy." Don't hesitate. Buy this book for the toddler or preschooler in your life.

GREAT!!

Foundation for every child's library

Starting with my son and then my daughter we read through Wilkin's books. They loved them. I loved them. So, I was thrilled to find this edition. I bought it for my grandson. But I am keeping it for myself and will order another copy for him. In this way he can have some of the best books at 'Grannie's" house for reading. I plan to buy more and give them as gifts to my daughter's friends as they have children.

Classic Choice For Every Child's Library

I grew up with Eloise Wilkin's Golden Books so when I saw this collection in the store I was very pleased. I ended up not buying it at the time and when I went back a few months later they weren't carrying it anymore. I was so happy to find it on Amazon. I bought it for my 4 year old daughter's birthday and she has quickly made it her favorite story book. The illustrations, as usual are amazingly beautiful! The stories are classic and unlike so many other story books, I don't have to edit any of the content. ( I often see what or shut up, ect in children's books and change it to please be quite or yes mam, ect) I love that the stories are simple enough that my 8 year old enjoys reading them to her little sister at bedtime. This book goes everywhere with us and suprisingly my 4 year olds favorite story is Busy Timmy. Her favorite books as a baby were Good Night Moon and The Big Red Barn which Eloise Wilkin also did so I went on the hunt for more of her books and was very surprised at how many of my favorite child hood stories were attributed to her.

Beautuful pictures!

Finest Illustrators of all Time!

I gave this book to my daughter on her 2nd birthday and for over 7months now it has been one of her favorite books she has her Nonna read her "Busy Timmy" everyday and when its time for my daughter to do things on her own like use her potty or eat if you remind her that Timmy does them she just can't wait to do them as well! This book is a treasure for any toddlers library!

Eloise Wilkin Stories (Little Golden Book Treasury)
The sub-title says Little Golden Book Treasury and treasury is an appropriate title. This book is a treasure! Each of the 209 pages is a delight! The pages have a sentimental familiarity for me as I can remember relishing them as a child, reading them to my children, and now sharing them with my grandchildren. The reproduction is excellent- much better than some other publishers are offering- each detail still intact altho some of the images are as old as 1948. I heartily recommend this edition to anyone who enjoys the peaceful beauty of Eloise Wilkin's illustrations!
