From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 2 In these poems, readers will find children building castles, writing letters, playing mommy, taking imaginary horse and cart rides and singing lullabies to their dolls. Each cheerful, bouncy verse is accompanied by an elaborately framed reproduction of Nister ' s 19th - Century paintings depicting children of the Victorian era. Youngsters can double their visual pleasure by pulling a tab that changes the playtime activity scene. The small pictures' soft hues complement the poetry's dreamy tone, but the rhymes themselves may be too long and some subject matter too unclear for younger children. Because of its fragile pull-tab construction and its limited appeal, this one will be better for home purchase. Connie M. Hornyak, Lake County Public Library, Merrillville, Ind.
