Nursery Classics: A Galdone Treasury
Paul Galdone. Clarion Books, $22 (176pp) ISBN 978-0-618-13046-7
Gathering four timeless tales with pictures by Caldecott Honor artist Paul Galdone into one handsomely designed volume, Nursery Classics: A Galdone Treasury shows off the illustrator's wit, whimsy and masterful use of detail. In ""The Three Little Pigs,"" the precocious porkers turn the tables on the leering wolf; the opening pages of ""The Three Bears"" show the main characters smiling knowingly at the reader, while the ""Little Wee Bear"" holds his teddy close. An introduction by Leonard S. Marcus offers a glimpse into Galdone's personal history and artistic style. ( Nov.)
