Elizabeth Applebaum AppleTree Editor Twinkle, Twinkle: An Animal Lover's Mother Goose by Bobbi Fabian (Dutton Children's Books) The illustrations, comprising a combination of painting and pho- tographs, in this book couldn't be more compelling. They're charm- ing and wonderfully creative. Don't miss the art accompanying "Hey diddle, diddle," which shows a live dog and cat aside a walking spoon and dish. "Jack be nimble," is a cute-as-can-be kangaroo, and the three men in a tub are ducks afloat in a painted ocean. Leslie E. Colburn • Harry S.

But along the way, someone should have advised the author to be mindful of children, as well. Unfortunately, this book includes that dreadful rhyme "There was an old woman." True, they were writ- ten a long time ago when things were very different, but Twinkle, twinkle would have been much more pleasing had it not included a so-called nursery rhyme about children being whipped. 41,1010,1,1 Succos With Rebbe Alter If you have any friends in Israel, whether they are religious or secular, Zionist or non- Zionist, old or young, chances are good they'll rave about Rebbe Alter. Much like Uncle Moishey, Rebbe Alter is a jolly, enthusiastic entertainer 1 who sings about Jewish life. Okay, so he's no Placid() Domingo, and the lyrics are not always the most clever (like rhyming "right" and "might.") It's fun enough, and this is great stuff to listen to \I \ while you're putting up the sukkah. WWI!
