Summary: WONDERFUL CLASSIC
Comment: I read this book to all of my children (now grown) and have given it as a gift to an adult artist. The playful rhymes and beautiful illustrations have classic appeal for all generations. I think adults respond to the book because each carefully crafted yet simple rhyme (they roll off the tongue and are fun to read aloud) and illustration evokes something inside, perhaps just the simplicity of our childhood.They are also very funny. (Except for poor old Pennington Poe who has a truck stuck in the snow and his donkey is slow, we all have days like that.) I find myself occasionally remembering one of the rhymes with my kids, and we have a great laugh as we remember a particular rhyme! They are each relatively short, so you can make it through the book fairly quickly and it holds a young child's interest, unlike some of the more lengthy Shel Silverstein poems. I highly recommend this book- it is a classic that should be in every library. As many times as I have read it, it never tires.

Summary: Best rhymes since Mother Goose
Comment: Of all the books we read together, and there were many by the time my daughter was enough of an under-the-blanket reader to finish them on her own sometime before breakfast, this one, like few others (Wind in the Willows, Secret Garden, for example) never wore itself out. Ride a Purple Pelican was a trusty cue for wonderful bedtimes!
The back cover shows the splendid and heartbreaking image of a little boy on a silver stork in the sunset above the clouds, with the looming towers of the World Trade Center resolving into beautiful, grey sleep (sixteen years ago).

Summary: Fun Rhymes and colorful, silly illustrations.
Comment: The rhymes were a bit tricky to read and I'm not sure if my almost-four-year-old understood them all, but she enjoyed the sing-song sound of them, when I didn't flub reading! She liked the illustrations and I did to, as I have a particular fondness for Garth Williams, who has illustrated some great books from my childhood.
