This uphill work is slow, indeed,
But down the slant-ah! note the speed!

Follow along on Bobby's adventurous ride when his cart is accidently set adrift.


Long before Richard Scarry or Dr. Seuss, an American artist delighted a generation of children and their parents with hilarious, topsy-turvy illustrations and slightly subversive tales told in rhyme. This was illustrator/author Peter Newell. Working over eighty years ago, Newell remains as profoundly enjoyable-and incredibly popular-as ever.


One to read over and over

The crooked shape of this book gives a clue to what lies within. The Slant Book tells the tale of a boy whose stroller goes careening down a long hill, and the trouble he causes on the way down. The illustrations are great fun, and fill in the gaps where the words get difficult for small children. We've read The Slant Book over and over and never get tired of it. This book is a real pleaser for kids from 3 to 8

A childrens' book that you'll enjoy reading to them

This book dates from much earlier this century, both in the art-work and the language. The pictures are distinctive, and very nostalgic for those of us who read our grandparent's chilrdens' books while growing up. The language is challenging, every page containing words such as 'nettled' and 'perambulating'. One of our daughter's favorites, as well as mine.
