BOOK REVIEWS
About Jennys Birthday Book
Jenny celebrates her birthday with a picnic in the park. All her friends are invited, and after the picnic supper they dance the sailors hornpipe. The illustrations have the same gaiety and charm that have appealed to so many young children in the past. Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books
Praise for Esther Averill and the Jenny series:
Averill colors her stories with abundant flights of clever fancy... But the nonchalance with which she delivers these makes them as real as her grounding details...Children will find Jenny's lessons about emotions and behavior helpful and reassuring. Christina Schwarz, The Atlantic Monthly, 2003
The grace and charm of these little books are not only for children. In wording, illustration, and design they offer to
people of all ages a short interview of pure delight.
The Saturday Review
There is a realness about Jenny, as well as a demure charm, that gives these annals of her doings a distinction lacking in many a more pretentious effort. The New Yorker
In Jenny readers meet the perfect friendan honest, fun-loving, and loyal playfellow and comrade-in-arms. How good to have Jenny back in print... Leonard S. Marcus, author of Storied City: A Childrens Book Walking Tour Guide to New York City
