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.
When did your baby first smile? Or sit, or walk? Little
achievements like these, if not recorded at the time, will soon be
just vague memories. This book provides a perfect way to keep the
fleeting details in one place, together with important information
such as vaccinations and illnesses. Illustrated with Kate
Greenaway's beautiful vignettes of early childhood, and sprinkled
with sparkly stars, the book has space for photographs, mementos
and personal notes. It will build up into a valuable record of your
child's growth and development, from birth right through to the
first term at school.
A baby's first year is full of landmarks: the first smile, first
bath, first photograph, first toy, first full night's sleep, first
crawl, first wave, first steps, first tooth, first word - a record
list of firsts. The Kate Greenaway First Year Baby Book has been
designed so that parents can record these little achievements as
they happen, from the day of the birth through to the first
birthday. It contains checklists which help parents monitor their
child's progress, with spaces to record immunizations as well as
physical and behavioural developments such as the first unsupported
sit or the child's first response to its own name.
Charming reproduction of rare volume by famed 19th-century illustrator includes abundantly illustrated list of over 200 plants and their figurative equivalents (tulip = fame; blue violet = faithfulness, etc.). Selection of flower-related verses-including "To a Mountain Daisy" by Robert Burns-appears at back of book. 85 full-color illustrations.
Kate Greenaway's book 'Marigold Garden: Pictures And Rhymes' was
originally published in 1885, it contains many nursery rhymes and
tales together with her beautiful illustrations. 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. About the Illustrator: Kate Greenaway (1846-1901) was one
of the earliest contributors to children's literature and, along
with her contemporaries Walter Crane and Randolph Caldecott, was
amongst the most influential illustrators in the development of
children's colour picture books. Her collaboration in 1876 with
Edmund Evans who reproduced her paintings using hand-engraved wood
blocks brought her much popularity. She has enchanted people, young
and old, for over one hundred years with her watercolour
illustrations of sweet, charming eighteenth century children with
their quaint costumes and idyllic scenes. In recognition of her
lifetime work, the Chartered Institute of Library and Information
Professionals of Great Britain established an award in her name in
1955 and to receive the Kate Greenaway Medal today is considered
the highest accolade a British illustrator can be given.
