Almost all of the eight stories collected are from the 19th century so they seem very tame to my modern eyes, with the exception of Poe's truly gruesome "The Black Cat." Despite not finding the stories particularly chilling, they are very well-written and deserve the "classic" title.

Trying to read all 1001 Children's Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up can be a frustrating experience. It doesn't sound like a hard challenge, does it? After all, these are children's books. Right?

But what about books like Joseph's Yard? It's described as a classic 32-page children's picture book. Yet it was as difficult to find as if it were the Hope Diamond.

Well, maybe not quite that difficult. After all, I did obtain a copy last week. Happily. From Paperback Swap. Thank you for sharing this former library book from Tawas City, Michigan. I see now why it is on our 1001 list. Though I'm perplexed not to find it widely available. Perplexed and sad.

Joseph's Yard is the very short story of Joseph and his yard. Joseph cleans up his yard and puts a plant in his yard. The plant puts out a flower and Joseph loves it so much that he snaps off the flower. The plant withers away and Joseph is very sad. After winter, Joseph is surprised to see the plant has come back and another flower has appeared. Birds and insects and cats come to Joseph's yard because of the plant and Joseph becomes fearful and covers his new flower with his coat. Again, the flower dies. And, again, Joseph is sad. Winter comes again, and the plant returns once more. This time, Joseph leaves the plant alone and, soon, the yard is filled with flowers and insects and birds and cats. Joseph is happy.

Beautiful woodcut illustrations. Simple but poignant story.

Great picture book and fun story to read. Even though he is in his own town the other side of the river is a complete new world. That young adolescent sense of wonder and new places is great to have when you're young. Having that adventurous side to you always leads to a new and exciting place.

This book was the 1967 Kate Greenaway Award winner - beautiful paintings make the experience of city life (urban renewal in inner-city London, England) as lived by Charley and Charlotte into something mystical yet real. In this way it does what only the very best fiction can do, helping children to see their ordinary life as something deeply meaningful.
