Title: The Rhyme Holds Up After All These Years
Review: This book was a childhood favorite, and my son has my well-worn copy. When I heard it was going to be reprinted, I immediately made a list of all the kids I know who need a copy of their own. I give this version 4 stars ONLY because of the new pictures. I am disappointed that the illustrations have been re-done by George Booth, but that is my only criticism of the re-print, and it's probably unfair. The original pictures are burned into my memory as the real deal. The kids to whom I've given this new version are delighted-- they never knew a different set of illustrations, and they find the rhymes as silly and fun as I did all those years ago.
