Time for books

Shirley Hughes is a distinguished author-illustrator of children’s books. She won the Kate Greenaway Medal for Illustrators in 1978 and the eleanor Far- jeon Award for her overall distinguished contribu- tion to children’s literature in 1983. Now, through Douglas and McIntyre, her Nursery Collection has become available in Canada.

The first three books in the series each present a simple concept. Bathwater's Hot depicts opposites, Noisy illustrates a series of different sounds; When We Went to the Park is a simple counting book. Each concept és presented through the activities of a fami- ly, little girl, baby brother, parents, grandfather, pets and home, so that there is a continuity between the books and a simple relationship withtheir own sur- roundings for the children reading them.

These are very good introductions to the concepts given, and their bright, realistic illustrations and touches of affectionate humour, (For example the six runners running followed by the seven dogs chasing) make them as much a delight for the parents sharing ther as for the child. The books cost $4.95 each.
