cheerful is a city mouse who spends his days frolicking in the church where he lives with his siblings, solemnity, faith, and hope—but he longs for the country, where mice run free. Palmer Brown’s filigreed drawings turn this sweet, simple story into an instrument of enchantment as glorious as a stained-glass window or the sugar-spun easter egg that conveys cheerful to his pastoral home.

The new York review children’s collection began in 2003 in an attempt to reward readerswho have long wished for the return of their favorite children’s books and to introduce those books to a new generations of readers. The line publishes books for preschoolers through to chapter books and novels for older children. Praised for their beautiful covers and stur-dy red-clothed bindings, these books set a new standard for the definition of a “classic.”

among the titles you will find are James Thurber’s The 13 Clocks and The Wonderful O; five of Palmer Brown’s intricately illustrated and wittily worded books; several titles by the award-winning team of ingri and edgar Parin d’auliare; and esther averill’s evergreen Jenny and the Cat Club series.

more illustrated titles recently added to the list are Junket is Nice by dorothy Kunhardt, of Pat the Bunny fame; Taka-chan and I: A Dog’s Journey to Japan by Runcible written by Betty Jean lifton with the black-and-white photos of eikoh hosoe; carlo collodi’s Pinocchio in a modern translation by geoffrey Brock and illustrated by fulvio testa; and He Was There From the Day We Moved In, which combines edward gorey’s characteristically clever art with rhoda levine’s words.

older children will enjoy daniel Pinkwater’s funky and rebellious Lizard Music; margery sharpe’s classic The Rescuers, adapted for the adorable disney movie; and A Traveller in Time, a trip to elizabethan england and back by alison Uttley.

new generation of readers, books such as Wee Gillis, by munro leaf and robertlawson, a slew of books by esther averill and, of course, the incomparable ms. nesbit’s

There, miss Bianca will be able to enlist nils, known to be the bravest mouse in the land, in a daring endeavor that will take them across turbulent seas into one of the darkest places known to man or mouse. it will take everything they’ve got and a good deal more to escape with their own lives, leave aside the poet.

UNCLE Written by J.P. Martin • Illustrated by Quentin Blake

“The [Uncle] books contain many of the elements of the best english chil-dren’s literature.

UNCLE CLEANS UpWritten by J.P. Martin • Illustrated by Quentin Blake

“. . . very funny, installing a large cast of unlikely characters. . . in a world ofmildly squiffy logic. . . and the illustrations are among Quentin Blake’s bestwork, scrawls and splotches that finally and unarguably distill character. But most important, this is the political satire of a high order—Animal Farmfor pre-teens, but wittier and more relevant to our own world.”
