Picture Book', is one of many 'Toy Books', it contains the stories,

Crane's wonderful colour illustrations enhance the romantic,
nostalgic quality of the text. Many of the earliest children's
books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are
now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are
working to republish these classic works in affordable, high
quality, colour editions, using the original text and artwork so
these works can delight another generation of children. Walter
Crane (1845-1915) was one of the earliest contributors to
children's literature and one of the most influential illustrators
in the development of children's colour picture books. Crane began
working for Edmund Evans in 1864 producing bright, colourful books
which revolutionised the type of children's books available. He
created a series of 'Toy Books' between 1865-1875 which contained
fairy stories, nursery rhymes and other tales of adventures. His
Arts and Crafts illustrations came to typify children's books for
decades to come.

Randolph Caldecott (1846-1886) was one of the most important
British illustrators. He transformed the world of decorated
children's books in the Victorian era. In 1877, he was asked by
Edmund Evans, the colour printer and talented engraver, to
illustrate two children's books. These books were an immediate
success and he went on to produce two books every Christmas until
he died. Caldecott chose all the stories and rhymes he illustrated
and occasionally wrote and added to the stories himself. His
delightful style and humour can still be enjoyed by young and old
alike. This story, 'The Queen Of Hearts', was originally published
in 1881. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those
dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these
classic works in affordable, high quality, colour editions, using
the original text and artwork so these works can delight another
generation of children.
The much-acclaimed toddler book series from The Gruffalo
illustrator, Axel Scheffler. Simple but engaging stories which
reflect the ups - and downs - of toddler life. Major new animation
series launching on Milkshake in 2021 Pip and Posy are best friends
- they love to play, and make things, and have fun. But just
occasionally they get cross or sad, and sometimes things go wrong
that are beyond their control. And that's when kindness and
understanding - and a cuddle - make everything better. In The
Bedtime Frog, Posy goes for a sleepover at Pip's house. The friends
have lots of fun together before bedtime. But just as they switch
out the light, disaster strikes - Posy realises that she has
forgotten her favourite frog toy. Keen to help his distraught
friend, Pip offers Posy a range of different toys to substitute for
her frog, including his own favourite frog money box. But none of
them will do - "That's the wrong frog!" Posy wails. It is only when
Pip gives Posy his own, very favourite, pig toy that Posy is
comforted and the friends can get a good night's sleep, at last.
