The House I'll Build
f or the Wrens

Several years ago there was
an exquisite film called The Secret
of Roan lnish, the story of a little
girl and a legend of a baby who
disappears over the waves. This
book offers a
similar tale of a
baby missing in
a snowstorm,
though it lacks
the sweet, gen-
tle tone of the
film. In fact, the
pictures in

by Shirley Neitzel, with illustrations
by Nancy Winslow Parker
(Greenwillow
Press)

This is a
• pleasant little
book with great
drawings for
the Bob Vila in
all of us.
Parent and
child will enjoy
reading this
• together as a
boy finds a
toolbox and all
the equipment
necessary for
his project; illus-
trations come to
replace words,
) which is espe-
cially fun for
younger readers
who can "read"
along as the
story gets
longer and
longer ("Here is
• the screwdriver
with a flat
blade to open
the paint a nice
blue shade, I'll
spread with the paintbrush two
inches wide, I found by the level
with a bubble inside").
In the end, the birdhouse is built,
/- the house is cleaned up, and read-
ers will be quite satisfied.
(Note this bonus: Ms. Neitzel
lives in Grand Rapids where, she
writes, she and her husband
"watch wrens as well as many
other birds.") 410,0144

For An
Affair To Remember

fAITRIqUE

Baby in a
Basket often

are quite dis-
turbing (a little
girl floating
under the
water, for
example), and
certainly not
appropriate for
younger chil-
dren or those
with active
imaginations
(and isn't that
most children?).
Fortunately, in
the end the
missing baby is
returned.
This book is
based on a true
story. MM
