HISTORY: "The Read-Aloud Treasury" is a collection of favorite nursery rhymes, poems, and stories for young children. It was compiled by Joanna Cole and Stephanie Calmenson, and features illustrations by Ann Schweninger. The book is designed to be read aloud to children, encouraging a love of language and literature from an early age.
This particular edition seems to be from 1988, based on one of the eBay listings. The book's illustrations and selection of stories evoke a sense of nostalgia for many who grew up with it. It remains a popular choice for parents and educators looking to introduce children to classic rhymes and tales.
