Knock at the Door (Action Rhyme Carry Books) - Hardcover

The well-known author of many books for children including The Firebird and Grandma Chickenlegs, Moira Kemp has sold over 5.5 million children's books worldwide.

Presented in small, die-cut formats, these favorite action rhymes are brought to radiant life in Kemp's artful interpretations. This talented illustrator employs a richer palette than is usually seen in board books, and her characters in all four titles possess an uncommon amount of personality. A scarf-clad bunny, bearing a hospitable bouquet and a duck-headed umbrella, comes calling on a squirrel pal in Knock at the Door ; as a roly-poly teddy bear roller-skates Round and Round the Garden , another bruin peers at the action over the page tops. A thoroughly puckish "little teapot" and accompanying crockery chorus line call to mind the dancing dishes in the film version of Beauty and the Beast . Appropriate gestures for the verses appear on the back of each title; youngsters--and their parents--will relish refining their histrionic abilities with such a captivating quartet. Ages 2-4.
