(For library professionals, early childhood teachers, day ...)
For library professionals, early childhood teachers, day care staff and parents concerned with the development of early childhood programmes, Ellin Greene provides a book based on her considerable experience in the field. As Project Director and Consultant to the New York Public Library's early childhood project, she designed a graduate course to prepare librarians to work effectively with infants and toddlers and their parents/caregivers. "Books, Babies, and Libraries" was born of the topics addressed in that course. The text features discussions on the library's role in early learning and in parent education, the theoretical concepts of child development and learning, emergent literacy, recommended book and nonprint collections, and the implementation of effective programmes. Greene also shares current bibliographies, a discography, and suitable toys, as well as charts and programme ideas that make this work a practical as well as educational tool. Appendices include reprints of pertinent professional articles and tools helpful in programme planning. This book aims to make a significant contribution in serving the interests and needs of the youngest library users.

In this joyfully retold Hungarian version of "The Golden Goose," a shepherd lad befriends a lamb whose fleece is the color of gold. The lad and the lamb set off on a journey, with the lamb dancing and frolicking as the boy plays his flute. Along the way they meet one person after another who tries to put an end to their merriment, but soon enough each has no choice but to join the cheerful procession and help the shepherd boy win his fortune and fulfill his destiny. Whimsically illustrated in delicious colors, this lively tale about the magic of music and the infectiousness of a light heart will have young children ready to join in the celebration.
