LITERATURE

The Kingfisher Book of Toy Stories

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Emma Chichester Clark. Watercolor paintings accompany eight stories about dolls and other toys. A few of the tales are classics, including "The Steadfast Tin Soldier," "The Nutcracker," and a Raggedy Ann tale, while others will be new to most readers. Although the large typeface is easy to read and the pictures abundant, the illustrations are undistinguished and portray each story in the same bland style.
