(A picture book for three year olds and older cnnaren wnose parenis are cApcvung a u?u;,. Pictures by W. Suschitzky; press by L. Frankl. Collins. 6s. '
This is a beautiful picture book superbly illustrated in lovely colour, as educative for the parent as it is reassuring for the child. It shows a mother explaining to her boy the coming of the baby, accepting his help in preparation, understanding his disappointments and difficulties when the baby arrives, and attempting to make the new family situation a means for him to grow up, and not to repress.
The letterpress is quite simple, adequate and well informed. As a production the book is on a high artistic level, and while it fulfils every necessary educational purpose, to the child it will be just another unusual and very reassuring picture book.
