This delightful picture book, first published in 1903, still enchants its readers and listeners with easy-to-learn rhymes and gorgeous pictures. Small children will be captivated by the charming tales of Johnny Crow's animal friends and the unlikely things that happen to them in his Garden. This colour version has been carefully restored to keep as close to the original as possible, faithfully reproducing the detailed pen and ink drawings and the rich colour illustrations.
In the third of L. Leslie Brooke's fantastic Johnny Crow books, many more animals come to see Johnny's expanded garden. Along the way, a deer comes over queer, the weasels get measles, but the animals are happy in the end when the chimpanzee makes them all a nice cup of tea. This re-issue of a classic of children's literature has been lovingly hand-edited; it includes all the black and white and colour illustrations.
In the second of this wonderful series, Johnny, literature's most hospitable crow, further improves his garden and invites the other animals round for a party. Old favourites are here, such as the Lion, the Bear and the never-mentioned penguins; but new animals are introduced too, such as a French-speaking cockatoo, a sleepy sheep and a kangaroo who likes blue roses. This colour version has been carefully restored to keep as close to the original as possible, faithfully reproducing the detailed pen and ink drawings and the rich colour illustrations.

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 book, 'R. Caldecott's Picture Book No. 1', is a collection of the first four stories he published. 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.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
