Pocketful of Posies: A Treasury of Nursery Rhymes, (Hardcover)

Publishers Weekly,Rarely have classic childhood verses been depicted with so much care and detail-and fabric. Loosely organizing the rhymes over the course of the day, starting with morning themes and closing with bedtime rhymes, Mavor creates a miniature world using wool felt, various stitching techniques, and found materials like acorn caps and seashells. Tiny ducks follow Jack and Jill's journey up and down the hill, while the rocking cradle in "Hush-a-bye, baby" is a walnut shell. Mavor's intricate and colorfully embroidered work of art makes even the best-known childhood poems feel special and new again. Up to age 3. (Sept.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.
