Green Tigers' Mother Goose Book
The nursery rhymes which we attribute to a mythical Mother Goose are the anonymous poems which have survived hundreds of years because of their popularity with small children.There is no fixed list of Mother Goose rhymes. There are many hundreds, and many variant forms. We have illustrated each rhyme with favorite pictures from our huge library of nursery rhyme books.

Green Tigers'Illustrated A B C Book
Our alphabet, draws upon our library of old children's books to create a new book. For each letter we show five different illustrations from five different antique ABC's. We used more than one hundred different books for this project, and believe our volume will delight the child who learns from it and stimulate the adults with its variety and historical perspective.

The Three Bears Book
This is a faithful facsimile of The Three Bears, originally published in 1928 and illustratedby Frances Brundage. It is a classicstory, undertaken by many illustrators drawn to its suspenseful elements andnarrative thrust. Brundage is, like most American illustrators of her era,rather unappreciated but her work in The Three Bears is lovely and gentle.

Little Red Riding Hood
This facsimile, dating from about 1910, is a gentle rendering of this cautionary tale.

Twas The Night Before Christmas
We have more than fifty versions of this wonderful poem in our library; this is one of our favorites. Margaret Evans Price has a gentle talent. The Santa Claus on the cover, and throughout, is one of the kindest, least threatening Santas ever imagined. Notice how his knees are slightly bent by the weight of his pack. See his big and prominent boots. This is a Santa who is appealingly earth bound.This is a facsimile of the 1917 edition. We have die-cut it, as in the original, and the rounded top makes it especially appealing. This is an ideal first Night before Christmas for a young child.

After receiving brand new stylish pajamas, the small kittens promptly ruin them with reckless play, but, as they discover, a mother's love surpasses even beautiful pajamas.This would make a wonderful gift for new parents building their classics collection or an avid young reader. The Cats' Pajamas is die-cut around the cover image, the newest in our "shape" book series.
