Classic Bedtime Stories

<DIV><P>Once upon a time, artist Scott Gustafson set out to illustrate classic stories, fairy tales, and nursery rhymes. Decades later, his immediately recognizable paintings have made bestsellers of <I>Peter Pan,</I><I>The Night Before Christmas, Classic Fairy Tales, </I>and <I>Favorite Nursery Rhymes from Mother Goose</I>. Now he gives us <I>Classic Bedtime Stories</I>, a lavishly illustrated, oversized collection of some of his favorite tales.</P><P></P><P>Stories such as €œSleeping Beauty,€ €œJack and the Beanstalk,€ and €œSambha and the Tigers€ leap off the page thanks to Gustafson€s exquisite paintings and lively retelling of these classics. €œThe Lion and the Mouse€ and €œThe Country Mouse and the City Mouse€ demonstrate his talent at creating uncanny anthropomorphic characters who keep us smiling even as they teach us about tolerance, diversity, and the Golden Rule.</P><P></P><P></P><P>A book that even adults will enjoy reading aloud again and again, <I>Classic Bedtime Stories </I>will keep youngsters of all ages engaged for hours.
