Sights and Sounds

Among the most interesting
and beautiful books are those
in which both text and pic
lures are planned to heighten
a child's awareness of the
world Of sights and sounds,
colors and feelings. Such
books may be very stimulat-
ing to children and motivate
them to creativity of their
own.

1t should be a matter of
pride and joy that American
books for children are so good
to look at. They also are ad-
venturesome in spirit, open to
new ideas, and constantly
crossing national boundaries.
In children's books today, we
are approaching lone world"
through exchange of stories,
pictures, and factual material.
Many American books are
sent abroad, both in the
original and in translation,
and publishers count among
their beSt-sellers an increas-
ing number of children's
books which have their origin
in other countries. The flow
of authors and illustrators
to this country which began
many years ago enriched our
bookmaking with such names
as Artzybasheff, d'Aulaire,

A Good Image

Every child has an image,
good or bad" Associate JUS
tice Douglas reminded his
audience at recent Chill
dren's Book Fair luncheon.
AS a boy Of 10 or IL, one Of
the men he admired most
was John Muir. So 1t Is not
surprising to find that his
biography. MUIR OF THE
MOUNTAINS (Houghton;
$1.95) is a strong and good
image of the man he admired.
In the book, he skillfully uses
excerpts from Muir's own
diaries to tell the story of his
wanderings through the val
leys and mountains of Yo-
semitic and the glaciers of
Alaska.
Other biographies which
offer challenging images are:

Themes, too, are world

all literature, reflect the
mode and interest of the
times. AS you find peace or

you will find these same
themes in children's books.

on his travels around the

the versions he liked best.
And very good versions, too,
which others may be tempted
to steal in their turn, for
folktales are common prop
erty.
Another storyteller, who
knew a good story when he

his own way, was Godfrey
