A perfect gift for new moms and dads, teachers, or parents excited to read their children the books they themselves grew up with, this collection is a wonder-filled opportunity for preschoolers and families to own and share the best of the best.

This large, oversized collection assembles twelve of the greatest picture books ever published: Goodnight Moon, Caps for Sale, Harold and the Purple Crayon, Crictor, A Baby Sister for Frances, Leo the Late Bloomer, William's Doll, A Chair for My Mother, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, Chrysanthemum, From Head to Toe, and Pete's a Pizza. Each story is followed by a page of tips for taking the reading experience further; a bibliography offers further reading suggestions.

This edition was updated in 2015 to include new classic favorites from the Greenwillow imprint of HarperCollins Publishers.
