Chosen by February 2012 Guest Editor, Jacqueline Wilson : "I think every child should have a special book of nursery rhymes - these odd quirky strange little verses are a first vital introduction to poetry, and all toddlers love to chant along with the words. Harold Jones's beautiful and lavish illustrations make this collection particularly magical.
The subtle colouring, peach, apple green, primrose and blue, gives every picture a haunting dreamlike quality, and the extraordinary detail will keep a child poring over the pages for hours. I especially love all the little domestic interior scenes - they're reassuringly cosy without being in the least sentimental. It's a book to treasure forever."
The Lovereading Comment:
A classic collection of nursery rhymes with beautiful, timeless illustration by Harold Jones. First published 50 years ago, Lavender’s Blue remains the perfect book for every new family as it provides all the favourite nursery rhymes as well as some new ones.
A definitive collection of nursery rhymes, beautifully designed and illustrated by the influential artist, Harold Jones. This edition has been lovingly produced to recreate the look and feel of the first printing of this much loved book, which was originally published in 1954.
"The nursery rhyme book to outlast all others." - Nursery World, 1954
