Wrong Version Sent
Published by Shaleesa M , 1 year ago
I took a long time reviewing the options based on the versions and cover images shown on this listing. Other people mentioned receiving different versions so I looked carefully at the pictures, etc. Unfortunately, as others have experienced, you won’t get the version you think you are buying based on the cover photos in the listing, as the ISBN numbers are apparently are mismatched. When I first reached out to customer service, they said it’s done by ISBN number, which is verified on my book that it matches the listing I purchased, but the book cover photo for that listing is different. I got some creepy cartoon version vs a beautiful illustrated one I was hoping for. Based on the reviews and customer service response, this is an ongoing issue that they apparently aren’t bothered enough to fix. Very disappointed in this company as this was my first purchase from them, and will possibly be my last. I don’t care to throw money away for items I didn’t want since they don’t refund or make these issues right.
Not illustrated

I thought I was buying the edition with the beautiful Tasha Tudor illustrations as pictured on the description. I got a hardcover book with no illustrations at all. Dissatisfied.

Upside down
Published by Michelle , 3 years ago
I've been wanting this book for a while and decided to order from this site. I never mind little nicks and things on my books but this book I got is completely upside down from the cover which is really annoying every time I open it. If whoever it is that sends out the books can at least check them before sending them out, it'd be really appreciated
Lovely (somewhat abridged) collection.

I grew up with Stevenson’s poetry as the backdrop of my childhood, and wanted the same for my grandchildren. Unfortunately, the description did not say that the editions I ordered are pop-up books. I don’t want pop-up books and I want to return these.
Delightful edition

The illustrations are bright and engaging, complementing the poems nicely. My 4 yo and 2 yo love this book!
Poetry and Art that kids enjoy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The lyrical rhymes and magic of everyday kid's lives is captivating for even young children. I grew up listening to these poems and my kids have enjoyed them, too. I am particularly fond of the illustrations by Eloise Wilkin. She captures the realism of both landscape and children's faces. This is a timeless classic.
You cannot go wrong!!!

This book is pure magic. The Provensons' beautiful artwork has been etched onto my brain from early childhood. Stevenson's beautiful verses coupled with the delightful illustrations make this book truly magical. You will love this book!!!!
I read this 30 years ago
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
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 editor, HungarianBookstore.com
