Since Amazon doesn't list the titles included in this collection, I will list them for anyone who is interested. They are as follows: The Shy Little Kitten, The Boy with a Drum, The Animals of Farmer Jones, Baby Farm Animals, The Jolly Barnyard, The Fuzzy Duckling, The Cow Went Over the Mountain, The Little Red Hen, Mrs Mooley, A Name for Kitty, Two Little Gardeners, and A Day On the FarmNot quite as many stories as I had expected from over 300 pages but the stories (the ones I remember) are familiar down to a detail, same pictures and everything. If you are looking for a trip down memory lane or to share some of your own memories with your next generation, then this is a great way to do it. Isn't it about time these books were republished?

If you click on the other hardbound link of this book (the 1st edition that has a frilly golden border around the cover), you may notice that that book has almost 100 more pages than the current edition. The new edition is cheaper and must have omitted The Little Red Hen (which is why she no longer appears on the cover) as well as other stories I'm not yet sure of. I've had trouble before with Amazon sharing reviews between differing editions of a book with the same title. The other treasuries Animal Tales and Sleepytime Tales have been similarly condensed.

I enjoyed reading All the Colors of the Race by Arnold Adoff. (Illustrated by John Steptoe.) It was interesting how Adoff writes from the perspective of a girl. With such strong sentiments, I couldn't help but wonder if there is any relation to his own life or that of someone he knows. I have read other poetry books by Adoff, and this was one of my favorites. In "I am making a circle for my self," I enjoyed the references to Golda Meir and Moses. In "The way I see any hope for later," Adoff powerfully addresses issues of race and gender, saying that we need to "stop looking" and "start loving." What a powerful poem! Even the layout of the words adds to the effect. "Remember:" makes an interesting reference to the fact that way back when there was only one race--a fact that makes one wonder how we ever became so divided.

Looks and performs as expected, although the glass was a bit smaller than expected. It is not a whole lot larger than standard Vinum cabernet glass. Still an excellent value for a great product.

If you want some real hand made crystal glass.don't buy these Machine made, try the best crysatl item are from Belgium , CRYSTAL Val Saint Lambert.

I own about half of the books that L'engle has written, and I love each and everyone one of them. This may not have been my favorite, but it was very good and an essential read for anyone who loves her work. It's following Vicky Austin and introduces Zach, who is in at least 2 other of her books, which makes this even more important to understanding his character, and Vicky's, more fully.
