The twenty-four selections in this handsome collection include a chapter each from A Wrinkle in Time and Just So Stories. The illustrations are also classics--readers will find art from Jessie Willcox Smith and W. W. Denslow. Not all of the selections are equally well suited to being excerpted: the chapter from Homer Price ends with counters still piled high with doughnuts.
