Excellent book that I just purchased for my four year old nephews birhtday. As we all know the book tells us how perseverance and persistence will eventually pay off if we try hard enough. It gives hope to all.

I loved this book as a child and I still remember my mother reading it to me vividly to this day. She has since passed away, however, the underlying message of the book about having confidence in oneself stuck. I think this theme of "knowing you can do it" is a value message for children to learn. I read through the story of the book and it had even more impact with the updated art. The images are original, powerful and really bring the story to life. I can see why they would appeal to children and the use of colors is amazing. I've read a few reviewers comments that the book is sexist. I didn't notice that the "bad trains" were a certain gender and the "good trains" another when I read it. However, I'm wondering if this just may be a coincidence. I have a hard time believing the author of a classic like this with such a good underlying positive message would do something like this on purpose. Ditto... for the editors who are watching out for problems like this. While I could be wrong, I think Watty Piper deserves the benefit of the doubt and perhaps she will be open to making some editorial changes to correct an apparent sexist slant in future editions. I also found the large format and prints in this book a value add. It is also printed on nice paper and lends itself to being used over and over. This format also makes it good for reading to small groups where the children will need to see the pictures from a distance. The toys seemed to be almost alive to me. The artwork was succesful in giving them some kind of personality. They seem more than just stuffed animals and I think this quality will appeal and endear them to children. The art is so captivating that it almost distracts me from the story. I have to admit I haven't read the classic version in a long time, but it seems to me there was more repetition of the core message in that version. If my memory is faulty, I think it would be an improvement to repeat the "I think I can.... I know I can...." theme more often. Overall, I don't think you can go wrong purchasing this classic book. It's a great read and a visual delight.

my twin toddlers love this book - the train-shaped board book is interesting for them to explore with their little hands, and the story just long enough to hold thier attention

My two year old granddaughter is reminded of all the things to do before bedtime.... then she gets a story! Very popular book.

When Cornelius' mother quizzes him on whether he's ready for bed, he answers honestly each time. Yes, Cornelius has fed the fish...chocolate chip cookies! Yes, Cornelius has put on his pajamas...and a pair of rollerskates and a scuba mask! Preschoolers and kindergardeners will laugh at Cornelius' silly antics. Adults will appreciate whimsy in illustrations: the fishes' shocked looks, the titles on Cornelius' books (We, we, we all the way home, Where the Wild Pigs Are, and If you Give a Mouse a Pig just to name a few). Great for encouraging dialogue during a one-on-one read-aloud session.

Wow... books that have impacted me over the course of my life... I read this as a preschooler and the message was never lost. This timeless classic about a little train that uses will and belief in one's self to overcome obstacles is the grandaddy of the self help literature! In this beautifully illustrated version, I can share these wonderful moments with my own children and god children. Getting the toys to the good children on the other side of the mountain is the core motivation to show children young and old the power of self belief. This book was a major inspiration to me as a child and through my own books, I continue to help perpetuate the choice to believe in yourself. As an author of children's books, I treasure the magic that reading brings to children. This is about as important a tool as any that you will ever arm your children with. Take a shot on this book... you will not be disappointed. Brian Weiner CEO The Illusion Factory (Inform and Empower Yourself) Author Toad Catchers' Creek

both my boys (2 and 4) love to hear this story over and over. There are quite a few lessons to be learned in this adorable book.

This is the first time that the 'Little Engine' has been published as a deluxe picture book. For this reason alone, it is unfair to compare it to the previous editions. The older editions are illustrated with small, simple, colored line drawings rather than lavish, full-page, full-color paintings. Long's illustrations are beautiful and, in my opinion, suit the story better than the old ones did. As I child, I was never quite sure if the clown and dolls were toys or people. Long's illustration makes them obviously toys. Long's illustrations give the different locomotives distinct looks and personalities. The original illustrations for both previous editions of the book have locomotives that are virtually identical, except for being different colors. The passenger engine in Long's illustration is a sleek, streamlined design with an arrogant, sneering expression, while the freight engine is a massive, dark iron, whale-like machine that looms over and peers down at the tiny clown. It's unfortunate that the review from the School Library Journal was chosen by Amazon for the Editorial Reviews, above. I'd like to correct some errors - the writer has her facts wrong about the history of this book. What Burg believes to be the original edition of the book is, in fact, the 1954 edition with illustrations by George and Doris Hauman. Although Burg praises the '1930s' look of these illustrations with the green poka-dotted clown, they scream '1950s!'. While most people today are familiar with this version, I think the older illustrations are showing their age, and I believe children today will relate better to Long's paintings. Also, as I have stated above, I believe Long's illustrations help tell the story better. The actual 1930s illustrations were colored line drawings by Lois Lenski, and few people today will have seen them. Interestingly, those illustrations show the story taking place in a stark, snow-covered winter landscape. Burg claims Loren Long's paintings have a '1950s' look. Anyone familiar with painting styles of the 1930s will recognize the influence of painters like Grant Wood on Long's style. Long's illustrations are much truer to the 1930s than the 1954 illustrations are. I am a friend of Loren Long's, and I know how hard he worked on these illustrations and how much this book meant to him. These paintings were a labor of love.

"Cornelius P. Mud, Are You Ready for Bed?," the latest children's storybook from author/illustrator Barney Saltzberg, takes readers through the zany bedtime routine of Cornelius P. Mud, a very silly pig. The subject is a ritual all young children are familiar with, getting ready for bed. The spirited Cornelius, however, puts his own special twist on the bedtime routine. Sure, he puts his toys away -- in the refrigerator! Yes, he puts on his pajamas -- and his snorkel, and his rollerblades and his swimming pool float! What really makes "Cornelius P. Mud, Are You Ready for Bed?" funny is the way Saltzberg uses the illustrations to tell us the real story. The text is simple and straightforward, innocent enough. It's in the pictures that we catch on to Cornelius' antics and get to see the mischievous gleam in his eye. "Cornelius P. Mud, Are You Ready for Bed?" is a hilarious, vibrantly illustrated story. Read this to your children if you want them to fall asleep smiling. No matter how unhappy they are about having to go to bed, they won't be able to resist Cornelius' "charms."

This little book with its beautiful picture of ' The Little Engine that Could' was a favorite. I read it many times to my children . The message of not giving up, of taking on something which the odds are against and are unlikely, of doing what is hard and to some seems impossible, of persisting and persisting until one does climb the mountain is one I think important for all of us in life. As I remember this book I think of my children and pray to G-d for their well being .And that they too will know in the words of their grandfather that lesson " When the going gets tough, the tough get going" A beautiful little book which brought us many moments of happiness.

Much discussion about the gender of the trains, the significance of which had escaped me, even after reading to my kids over, and over, and over. But very true, nice to have a female heroine. Bottom line - this is a great story and the children respond regardless of their gender. In fact my 2 year old turned into a train lover because of it. We often use the phrase "I think I can, I think I can" when they complain they cannot accomplish something challenging and it does inspire them to try. The illustrations are charming and have a sweet old fashioned quality. Can't miss with this one.

As a parent of three, one of the most important things I can give my children is motivation. The attitude that he or she CAN DO ANYTHING IF THEY THINK THEY CAN DO IT. By reading this story over and over again, the message will go into their conscious and subconscious mind and my hope is that they will follow their dreams and become all they are able to become. Zev Saftlas, Author of Motivation That Works: How to Get Motivated and Stay Motivated What better gift can a parent give their child than believing in them?

My second daughter has now fallen in love with this book, at about the same age as her older sister did (3 and 1/2). So, we are reading it every single night, often multiple times. If her older sister is any guide, this will probably continue for about 6 months. This is simply an absolutely perfect children's story. The plot has some tension to keep the child's interest to the end of the story. The story shows how small people (or trains, if you want to be literal) with a good heart (like a child) can make a big difference in the world. The illustrations are extremely colorful and magical. The only fault (this is incredibly minor) I can find is the one-time usage of the word "indignantly", which no child is going to know. Other than that, I wouldn't change any other word or aspect of this book. It's also a fun story for an adult to read outloud. I enjoy using different voices for the arrogant Shiny New Engine, the gruff Freight Engine, and the tired Old Engine, as well as helpful Little Blue Engine's famous repetitive cadence ("I think I can"). It will be a sad day when my youngest outgrows this book. Don't deny yourself or your child the pleasure - buy it!

I liked this book because it motivated me to do things positively than negatively. I would recommend this book because of the way the train is determined to go over the hill to give the toys to all the kids on the other side.

The current self-help genre tends to be dwelling on hurts and self-pity, then finding magical solutions. Our Little Engine just has healthy self-confidence and determination. And please don't stress even that when reading it to the kids who will love it, since they find their own more imaginative interpretations. The unabridged version is a lifetime favourite of mine, and, for classroom use or that with older children, find a copy at all costs. This version does retain much of the essence, however, and is great for the pre-school set. The only "negative" I can think of is that the kids so love the repetition that parents may grow a bit tired of the daily requests for it to be re-read, especially if the particular child wants to hear only certain sections (I knew one who always wanted "the clown part," the other "the food part.") The same enjoyable repetition makes this a favourite story to read to children in primary grades. Yes, be sure you don't stop the kids from all joining in "I think I can..." This remains one book that every favourite kid of mine receives as a present. If it disappoints any of your children, that will be a first, in my experience!

Few books are so gratifying to read to children for the first time. A child does not even need to understand English to "get" it. On first meeting our four-year-old son, who had never heard a world of English until then, I put him on my knee and impersonated each engine character chugging through these pages. He was scared and shy, but he loved the "characters," which I could only differentiate for him by sound, and he especially loved the famous repeating line "I think I can." As my whispers rose to crescendo, he squealed in delight. Nowadays he reads much harder books before going to sleep at night. But he likes every now and then to come back to this one: He well remembers the first moments of bonding with me, and with this book. --- Alyssa A. Lappen

This is one of the great children's stories of all time. I loved it as a child and read it over and over again, and my son has been demanding it as a bedtime story regularly since he was2-1/2 years old. The 1991 Platt & Munk (a division of Grosset & Dunlap) edition, beautifully illustrated by Cristina Ong, leaves out all the requests made to the busy trains. The story is now very brief (which is why I give it only 3 stars instead of the 5 the full-length version deserves)--I suppose because it is a board book--but the essentials are all there. It also changes the sex of the engines from male to female, so perhaps some parents would like to read this edition to their children as well as one of the others.

Even as an adult, the message is loud and clear - persistence pays off. A close friend gave me this book after I achieved a goal for which I had strived long and hard - this book was the PERFECT gift. I can't wait to share it with my daughter.

If I were rating this book based on how much I like it, it would be about a 2 star book! If my son were rating it, it would be 5 plus stars! I always found this story a bit dull and predictable. I was given this book for my son, and read it to him half thinking he would feel the same. Well, from the time he was less than a year old, he loved it very, very much. We read it over and over and over....I think the message does inspire kids, and of course, it's about trains, which alone is enough to make him happy. So I have mellowed on this title, and think it richly deserves a 4 star vote!

Like many others, I first read these poems as a very young child. I didn't realise until rereading them just recently how many of them had stayed with me. The poems all deal with sounds, sights and emotions that will be familiar to most young children. And as an adult, the poetry of Robert Louis Stevenson brings back that sense of wonder and amazement that many of us lose as we grow older. One of the poems that I will always remember deals with how difficult it is to go to bed when you are told in the summer when the days are long and the sun is still out. who doesn't remember this? The illustrations in this particular edition, by Tasha Tudor, capture perfectly the childhood world of the poetry--the imagination in play is wonderfully portrayed. Remember when the space under the table became a cave, or a castle, or a spaceship? These poems and the accompanying illustrations deal with these imaginary adventures that all children share in. Purchase this book and share it with other adults and with the children in your life. If it stays with you for the rest of your life, then you have gained a treasure.

Thirty years ago, I was taught to read with this. Different pictures, same poems. I learned to imagine and believe in ordinary, yet beautiful things. Even today, in my own writing, I smile realizing how and when I learned a technique ... just by listening to my mother whisper these poems nightly. Aptly named, RLS has the reader remembering the wonderful days of playing alone and with friends, of delighting in the moment. Your child will gain an understanding of classic children's poetry, of the rhythm and rhyme. They sound eloquent aloud, and read gentle at bedtime. Anthony Trendl TreeFortBooks.com

Gyo Fujikawa is my favorite illustrator of this collection of poems by Robert Louis Stevenson.

A Child's Garden of Verses is a childhood staple that should be in every child's home library. I purchased the hardback illustrated by Gyo Fujikawa, one of my favorite children's illustrators. The book is large and the illustrations are charming. There are a variety of full color and black and white illustrations. The poor reviews for the paperback version of this book made me nervous, but don't worry about ordering this hardbound Gyo Fujikawa illustrated edition. I ordered it for my niece's birthday and can't wait to give it to her! My own kids are begging to read it before it gets gifted :)

Beautiful book! Bought for a baby shower.

Beautiful, with the original illustrations that are scrumptious.

This is a beautiful book and I do enjoy it as I did as a chile. My favorite of all books.

These poems were clearly written for children, but are not childish. Ive enjoyed reading this to my children at bedtime.

A classic. The pictures are charming, and the poems are marvelous. I got it for my little grandson to enjoy when he gets to be a little older. I remember memorizing some of these poems when I was a child, and have always loved them.

Love the illustrations!

This is a classic. I bought it for my grandchildren to read to their children, my great grands.

Perfect

This is a great book, but the cover is just a drab green color. Illustrations on inside are great!

Love this book from my childhood!

Lots of memories as I read poems to my grandchildren.

Such a beautiful book and wonderful poems for children.

Another classic that was printed in China. Has a strong smell of printing materials.

this is the most beautiful book. It is a lovely and beautiful way to expand little minds early on in the world of literature. Love it and the art work is stunning.

I cannot recommend this book enough we absolutely adore this book in our home. I read a few verses to my 3 and 4 year old every night.

Beautiful poems from childhood, together with lovely paintings by Tasha Tudor....can't lose with that combination. A wonderful gift for any child....or even and adult, which is who I bought it for.

gift.

I was excited to get it to read it to my kids. Once I got it I was completely saddened by it. I could barely read it due to pages missing. Then, the poems in it all ran together, so I was unable to tell one from another. complete waste of money.

Absolutely Beautiful. A worthy addition to any family's collection.

They loved it, I barely read more that a couple of pages. My rating is based on the Grandkid's reation

purchased as a duplicate for our childhood book so each of our children can have one for their homes. Very good packing by sender, and the service was prompt, and the book exactly as described - thank you.

I will first regret the poems are not in poetic layout but in plain prose layout in spite of the rhymes and the capital letters at the beginning of each group of what should have been lines. We miss that visual poetry. The illustrations are the only visual element and they are nice but not enough to make us enter in this world of childrens poetry, of poetry for children that has to be visually clear and attractive. The second characteristic is that it is poetry written for children. Yet it is mostly in first person as if some hypothetical child were speaking and that is not possible because the language is by far too complicated for a child that has just learned how to read. It is thus poetry that has to be read to children and what children are going to find in the poetry is the music with lines, rhymes and rhythm. It is of course a common convention for childrens literature in the second half of the 19th century, which is Stevensons period. Childrens literature is adult literature for children. The themes are essentially that of a garden, a vast garden and a vast house, if not mansion in the countryside by the sea. We are in a wealthy family or even more than wealthy, with a nurse for that child who is a boy and cannot be anything else, knowing how often he plays with tin soldiers or he plays soldier himself, even if at the end an allusion to a cousin girl is introduced. The world is seen through the eyes of the boy and described through the pen and language of the adult who is telling us the story. The big Louis author is alluding towards the end he is seeing the world through the eyes of a small Louis boy that he probably used to be. Then you have a lot of seascape, ships, boats, fishing, travelling and foreign countries, though the dominant one is India but only as a distant somewhere. The child is also imagining fairy countries, dreamlike countries to which he is able to travel. But do not expect any Wonderland. The most surprising element is the total solitude of that child. He is alone, playing alone and by himself with toys he can play with alone. He does not have any partner and adults are not taking part in the games. The nurse only puts him to bed and gets him up. In many ways it is a sad vision of a solitary quasi abandoned child in a wealthy family where everyone is minding their own businesses and hardly the child. So he sleeps at night, watches the sun rising in the morning, plays in the garden all day long, watches the sun setting in the evening and goes back to bed at night. That kind of life is traumatic. A child living such a life should develop PTSS by total lack of love, total lack of company, total lack of another child of the same size, except the imaginary one he creates, and that should lead him to a split personality, a perfect soil for schizophrenia later on. I was even amazed at finding some social Darwinism in one poem: The child that is not clean and neat, With lots of toys and things to eat, He is a naughty child, Im sure Or else his dear papa is poor. In other words, it is the fate of a naughty rich boy or a poor boy. And it is normal if you are poor not to be clean and neat, not to have toys and food. There is no questioning of it and it is equaled to naughtiness for a rich boy. A good boy, meaning rich, is always clean and neat, has plenty of toys and plenty to eat. Just add to this it is the reward for being a good rich boy and social Darwinism is with you. This concepts of good boy and bad boy are constantly present in many poems and one is for me surprisingly European-centered to the point of reaching infantile arrogance: FOREIGN CHILDREN Little Indian, Sioux or Crow, Little frosty Eskimo, Little Turk or Japanee, Oh! Dont you wish that you were me? You have seen the scarlet trees And the lions overseas; You have eaten ostrich eggs, And turned the turtles off their legs. Such a life is very fine, But its not so nice as mine: You must often, as you trod, Have wearied not to be abroad. You have curious things to eat, I am fed on proper meat; You must dwell beyond the foam, But I am safe and live at home. Little Indian, Sioux or Crow, Little frosty Eskimo, Little Turk or Japanee, Oh! Dont you wish that you were me? How plain cruel it is to turn turtles off their legs knowing they cannot get back on their legs alone. Just as cruel as making the Indian, the Sioux, the Crow, the Eskimo, the Turk and the Japanese only dream of one thing: be a good white European, rich of course. Dr. Jacques COULARDEAU

I am a homeschool mom who incorporated this gem into our school day (kindergartener and first grader), and I am so thankful for it! RLS knows words and the minds of children, and this book helped me introduce one to the other. Two of my friends have bought this for their children since looking at my copy.

There are many editions of Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses. This one is notable because it is illustrated by Eve Garnett, who has filled this edition with most delightful pencil sketches and drawings. Next to Tasha Tudor's illustrations for the poems she selected for her collection, Wings From The Wind, I like these lovely (on a smaller scale) drawings by Eve Garnett. Garnett was the first British writer of children's stories to write wonderful stories of working class families (in London) (The Family from One End Street, etc.), and she illustrated her own books. A small gem of a story of hers ("The Kind Visitor") can be found in a collection of stories titled: A Golden Land, edited by James Reeves. The story originally appeared in Eve Garnett's collection of four of her stories, called: Lost And Found. Sadly consider how many excellent books and stories are "lost" to today's children because they are out of print! This edition of RLS's poems is also out of print.

My favorite as a child. Arrived quickly!

Fond childhood memories

You know, this book was not at all what I hoped to receive in the mail. The reproduction was awful. The picture quality was terrible. The poems were slightly enjoyable which is why I am giving it a two stars instead of one. All and all, folks really talked this one up in the Ambleside society and I just wondered why in the end. He's a well known author, but the book I received did not live up to par. It maybe less disappointing to glean his writings for free off the internet rather than part with cash for this particular book.

Beautifully illustrated, love it!

This is a rather faint photographic reprint of the 1919 volume, so the images are faded. This item would only be useful to someone doing work on the illustrated versions of these poems. It is not attractive to young children.

A beautiful nostalgia book with Tasha Tudor illustrations. Arrived in good condition and promptly from seller.

Great book, my grandchildren love it.

I had a copy of this growing up and loved reading it again. The illustrations were beautiful...brought back many memories!

My first book, over 70 years ago. Remember my Mother reading to me every night. I have bought this book for each of my Grandchildren. I have it for myself now on my Kindle. Still enjoy.

This book is entirely charming. We absolutely love Gyo Fujikawa's illustrations! They complement the classic children's poetry of Robert Louis Stevenson perfectly!

have not bought this yet

nice cheap reproduction of an old favorite.

The copy of "A Child's Garden of Verses" by Robert Louis Stevenson I ordered as a Christmas gift for my Great Grandson was perfect! The illustrations by Tasha Tudor for the book were perfect.

Thanks

I grew up with this book' it was my favorite. I bought this ebook version so I'd always have it to read to grandchildren.

Terrible. This is just photocopied paper glued in a book. Titles aren't even on the same pages as some of the poems. Poor quality. Would not buy. Deserves zero stars.

It was beautiful book when I was a child and it is a beautiful book today - 70 yrs later

Great! As expected.

Wasn't as fancy as I'd hoped

I love the book, and I hope my grandchildren will too.

Remarkable! What a great contrast to Treasure Island!

As promised and delivered on time

Great book, delivered promptly. Enjoying the verses with my grandson

Terrible, blurry, faded reproduction of original book. This product deserves no starts. Amazon shouldn't sell it at all.

The Kindle version of the Everyman's Library Children's Classics is poorly formatted. Some of the poems which originally appeared within illustrations are ONLY in the illustration, and the illustrations are small and not very high quality, so those poems are difficult to read.

Beautiful book.

This was a gift

Great reading for my granddaughter

Who couldn't love this?

I bought this book for great granddaughter. I'll have to wait and see how she likes it.

Very good

Pages are thin. Child would easily tear even with supervision. Putting it away for a few years.

Beautiful illustrations of favorite childhood rhymes.

I haven't seen this particular version so I'm giving it an extra star for what I presume to be nice illustrations but these verses by RLS are horrible. Not only are they terrible poetry, they have outdated and toxic ideas (such as the idea of "bad children" and the verse about "foreign children"), and much.of the vocab is so outdated that it won't be understood by today's kids without so much explanation that any magic will be stripped away. Also, FYI they are skewed toward gun/soldier play. There are a lot of important childhood experiences in the verses that are great to discuss with children such as imagination and what to do when you're lonely but I cannot in good conscience recommend this book. I was so excited to find the 1960 illustrated version but now this may be the second book ever that I'll put in the recycling bin. Browse the verses online for free or get the 99c kindle version if you really can't believe it and need to see for yourself.

This beautiful, gentle book was a birthday gift for a just-turned 8 year-old little girl. The illustrations and literature inside this book are charming and enchanting.

Love this book!

It has all the wonderful poems and stories I read to my boys when they were little. They were also read to me by my mom many years ago, and I love them and want to pass them on to my grandchildren.

The perfect gift from adults who follow through and read it with children.

Stevenson's poems are wonderful but it's hard to read them in this book because they follow one another with little break between then and there are no pictures in it at all. I wish I'd paid a little more and gotten a better version.

Beautiful verse. A book every child should have read to them and then read it themselves.

Layout was very odd. Would not recommend.

Great memories----60-70 years ago, and I can still quote lots of them. Now I'll have to explain some words (counterpane) and lifestyles and that should make more great memories! Book and illustrations are excellent.

I wanted my son to have poems to memorize. This is a cheap knockoff that can't even spare a page for a single poem. It just has them one after another with little distinguishing between one and the next except a slight change in font of the title. Truly a cheap, flimsy book. The poems are lovely, so I suspect that being out of copyright this is just an attempt to grab at money without putting quality into it. The paper is possibly the lowest quality you can buy. The poems deserve better.

It contained all of the classics with a modern cover.

Most of the old poems still hold up. Some, though, are dated by their first-world views. We can read them now and learn how the world has changed, then skip them in the future.

THE BOOK IS A VERY SMALL PAPERBACK WITH NO ILLUSTRATIONS

perfect

No objections to the poetry, but the printing is quite off. Some of the poems are printed on opposite pages, separated by large pictures. Makes it difficult to keep the flow of the poem.

I have never been so insulted by a publisher's work (or lack thereof). What should be a lovely, classic book for children turned to be nothing but a cheap knock-off. Starting with the author's bio page, which was titled "Jane Austen," followed by very grainy, low-quality pictures that had little to do with the subject, poem titles at the beginning and end of poems (the first poem ended with "Bed Bed in in Summer Summer), oddly placed blank pages, and poem titles at the end of one page with the poem following on the next. I was so disgusted, I couldn't even show it to my child, lest he think that this was appropriate work. Robert Louis Stevenson is probably rolling over in his grave. Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform; Prm Ill edition (April 4, 2016)

Will love reading these classic poems to my granddaughter. Beautiful illustrations.
