THE BUNDLE BOOK
by Ruth Krauss illustrated by Helen Stone
The sweetly soft, pastel illustrations by Helen Stone are lovely, but may appeal more to Mother rather than the toddler, in this delectable story-game for very little children and their mothers. The strange "bundle" on the bed made Mother wonder what it was. Was it a bundle of laundry? a monkey? a bird?, but all the guesses were very funny and very wrong, until the bundle popped out and yelled "It's ME!", and that is just what Mother wanted all along. The warmth of cherished "secret fun" infuses this gentle story which has a gleeful humor the toddler will recognize and appreciate.
