PS
Given the limited availability of the volumes this material is culled from (Tiny Tim--Verses for Children; Cakes and Custard--The Helen Oxenbury Nursery Rhyme Book; The Helen Oxenbury Nursery Story Book), this is a welcome addition to nursery shelves. The look of the pages is oddly faded, but Oxenbury's trademark illustrations, full of humor, movement, and personality, are strong enough to compensate.
