Children of Our Town (Picture Book)

This beautifully-illustrated children's picture book highlights the life of children in New York City at the start of the 20th century. Carolyn Wells has written short, descriptive rhymes of such events as Thanksgiving, a baseball game in Harlem, girls vying for the title of May-day Queen, April Fools' Day, and a snowball fight. Each page in the book stands alone, and children are sure to want to read and have read to them their favorites over and over.

This edition of the book contains 33 original, color illustrations, carefully rejuvenated.
