For those who are interested in children's books there ia . very love- ly exhibit in the Children‘s Emma " the Art Institute. There an gnthered together bah from my nations “ch one vying with the other in c'olor and the lavish In: of the im- agitation. Books from Fume, Ger- m-ny, Italy. um! CseeheeSlovnkia are just as attrartitre and not so very different from those bearing such familiar names as Arthur Rackham, Tony Sarg, and Kate Greenaway. Children's Book Week, like fitttl mus. and most other things ftrr which we are never quite prepared, comes on spare, [ It is the time when “'94 stop and wnsider, since it was for.) this the week was made, what is good ' fur the young to read, Or if We don't l know we listen to what the wise) Among us have to say on the subjecn‘ They say a great deal, but one who seems to speak with more than mud} understanding is Emily Newell Blair.‘ She describes interestingly the stages! through which a child's reading!' s I should go. I First, m infancy a child should! have tmy books which it can handle; itself and learn to lore and associate? with pleasure. For this there are the cloth non-tearing books, and various) series of small books such as "The Happy Hour Series" to which there, are several additions this year which] can be read aloud to young children and.which are small enough for them to hold. In the next stage the child wants to lie on the floor and finger and pore over a book for himself, looking at pictures and perhaps studying out the words. This book should be large, flat. have big print, and clear pictures. Such a book is the really delicious “Millions of Cats" ( by Wanda Gag. whose futuristic work has received hisrh.aeclaim in New! York. It is a book which no young, child should miss. There should be of course for every child a Pele Goose." Among books that parents1 can read to their children a very good I one is "Here and Now Story Book", by Lucy Sprague Mitchell, and an- other is the Cfhhrrso Stories.", Also in tht?Caarit come the jingle hooks, one of the best of which Ed- ward Iwar's "Book of Nonsense" has been reissued with "Other Absurdi- ties by Lewis Carroll" by Dutton this year. Another jingle which is de- lightful "Dame Wiggins of Lee Ind Her Seven Wonderful Cats” by John Ruskin has also been issued by the some publisher. From the time that the child can read for himself there are hosts of things to recommend. The important thing is that he have already acquir- ed a love of books, thinking of them not as connected with duty but as girls to pleasure, For John Farm! says "We cannot expect to be thor- oughly tultnred or even thoroughly educated until we learn to allow our children to believe that reading is just as much a pleasure as eating candy or going to the movies." One of the niost irresistible of 31H books for this next age is "The House at Pooh Corner" by A. A. Milne and' decorated by E. H. Stepard. If you' are a friend of Pooh and Christopher; Robin you will, no matter what yourl are. not stop for anything from the! first page to the last. Not for any-l thing that its, except to read aloud passages to nny handy thought half- oneomprehendintr ears. For this is, one of those books that you must; read pun-gas and quote from-but there, one has to be firm or the en-{ tire column would be filled by Pooh: Dorothy Aldes has added another) charming book of verse "Here, There{ tad Everywhere" to her "Eversthimr', and Anything.” They, too, " for grown-ups " well as for children. 1 Books for children of this age should be well made, on vtlt',lt'dli"ae/ paper. substantially bound, for, as Robert Ballot said in I masterly se',',') um i hue quoted before mania} "in I book mainly to read, while 1 child wants a book to, read but also to look It, to feel, to smell. to listen to the rustling of in, lave; us he mm: them, mud to throw at the eat." .rruettraesrrreir'brt'ect n.3mmMMWV“M ttttttttG-es.
