This delightful volume from acclaimed children’s author Elizabeth Jane Coatsworth transports readers to the whimsical world of childhood imagination.

Coatsworth’s playful verses invite children to engage their curiosity and creativity, spinning fanciful tales inspired by everyday sights and sounds.

This particular copy, though showing some wear from years of being cherished, remains a testament to the enduring appeal of Coatsworth’s timeless storytelling. Its well-preserved pages await the next generation of dreamers, ready to ignite their minds with the magic of words.
