Walter Crane

Beschreibung

In "The Baby's Bouquet: A Fresh Bunch of Rhymes and Tunes," Walter Crane presents a delightful collection of nursery rhymes and melodies that invite young readers into a vibrant world of imagination and joy. The book is characterized by Crane's playful literary style, rich with rhythm and lyrical simplicity, designed to engage the minds of young children. The illustrations, a hallmark of Crane's artistry, complement the text beautifully, creating an immersive experience that stimulates both the intellect and senses. Contextually, the work emerges from the late 19th century, a period marked by a renewed interest in children's literature, as writers sought to craft wholesome and educational content for the young audience. Walter Crane was not only a prolific author but also a celebrated illustrator and designer, deeply influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite movement and the Arts and Crafts Movement. His commitment to childhood education and the value of playfulness in learning is evident in his works, as he sought to ignite a love for literature and art in the young. Crane's background and artistic philosophy significantly informed his approach to this anthology, ensuring that both visual and textual elements are harmoniously intertwined. I highly recommend "The Baby's Bouquet" to parents, educators, and lovers of children's literature. It serves not only as a charming introduction to poetry for young minds but also as a nostalgic reminder of childhood wonder for adults. Crane's exquisite balance of word and image makes this book a timeless treasure, perfect for reading aloud or for children to explore on their own.

Hickory Dickory Dock - Hickory...

L. Frank Baum

Hickory, Dickory, Dock! 
The mouse ran up the clock. 
The clock struck one, 
The mouse ran down, 
Hickory, Dickory, Dock! 
WITHIN the hollow wall of an old brick mansion, away up near the roof, there lived a family of mice. It was a snug little home, pleasant and quiet, and as dark as any mouse could desire. Mamma Mouse liked it because, as she said, the draught that came through the rafters made it cool in summer, and they were near enough to the chimney to keep warm in winter-time. 
Besides the Mamma Mouse there were three children, named Hickory and Dickory and Dock. There had once been a Papa Mouse as well; but while he was hunting for food one night he saw a nice piece of cheese in a wire box, and attempted to get it. The minute he stuck his head into the box, however, it closed with a snap that nearly cut his head off, and when Mamma Mouse came down to look for him he was quite dead. The story becomes better after this somber opening, trust me. Find out why those mice ran up that clock.
