My favorite book from when I was a child to my current age of 63. This book belonged to my Mom's little brother, and for some reason I grew up with it in our family library. My uncle's name is on the inside cover. I spent hours looking at all of the pictures, and learned to read by reciting the poems. The illustrations are still so warm and charming.
