Unparalleled in scope and quality and designed for reading aloud and sharing, this splendid anthology brings together some of the most memorable and beloved children's books of our time. Here are classics such as Madeline and Curious George; contemporary bestsellers such as Guess How Much I Love You and The Stinky Cheese Man; Caldecott Medal winners such as Make Way for Ducklings and Where the Wild Things Are; and family favorites such as Goodnight Moon, The Sneetches, Winnie-the-Pooh, and Alexander & The Terrible, No Good Very Bad Day, soon to be a motion picture.

The selections range from concept books and wordless books to picture books and short read-aloud stories, and represent the complete array of childhood themes and reading needs: ABCs, number and color books, stories about going to bed and going to school; tales about growing up, siblings, parents, and grandparents; animal stories, fantasies; fables; magical stories; stories about everyday life--and more.

This beautiful edition includes a recommended list of books published in the time since this anthology's original compilation, including Caldecott Honors Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus and Olivia, with descriptive annotations intended to guide parents to these new books and new voices of the 21st century. Also included are an introduction from editor Janet Schulman, capsule biographies of the 62 writers and artists represented in the collection, color-coded running heads indicating age levels, and indexes. As a gift, a keepsake, and a companion in a child's first steps toward a lifelong love of reading, The 20th Century Children's Book Treasury belongs in every family's bookcase.

Batana Oil for Stronger, Fuller Hair
Scent: Bright Coffee, Size: 4.06 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this Batana Oil for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed with the results. From the very first use, my hair felt softer, more nourished, and noticeably healthier. The texture of the oil is rich but not overly heavy, which makes it easy to apply without weighing my hair down. What I love most is how it helps with dryness and frizz. My ends look less damaged, and my hair has a natural shine that I didn’t have before. I’ve also noticed less breakage when brushing, which is a huge plus. It feels like my hair is getting stronger over time. Another great thing is that a little goes a long way, so the jar lasts longer than expected. I like to use it as a scalp treatment and also as a leave-in on my ends, and it works perfectly both ways. If you’re looking for something to improve the overall health, thickness, and appearance of your hair, this Batana Oil is definitely worth trying. It gives that “salon-quality” feel right at home.

Scent: Bright Coffee, Size: 4.06 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have been using this batana oil in my hair and I really liked it. Leaves hair soft, with more shine and a healthier appearance. It feels nutritious without the need to use large amounts. It also helps control frizz and leaves the hair manageable. With constant use I have noticed that my hair looks stronger and more hydrated. Very good value for money.

Hair Growth Game Changer
Scent: Bright Coffee, Size: 4.06 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Bright Coffee, Size: 4.06 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Game-Changer for Hair Growth & Thickness I am seriously impressed with this 100% raw organic Batana oil. I’ve tried so many hair growth products, and this is one of the few that actually delivers real results. Within just a couple of weeks, I noticed my hair feeling softer, stronger, and way more hydrated. The biggest difference for me has been in thickness—my hair looks fuller, and I’m seeing new growth, especially around my hairline. It also adds a really healthy shine without making my hair feel greasy or weighed down. I love that it’s all-natural and unprocessed—you can tell it’s the real deal. A little goes a long way, so the jar will last you a while. I use it a few times a week as a scalp treatment and even on my ends to prevent dryness. If you’re struggling with thinning, breakage, or just want healthier, longer hair, I highly recommend giving this a try. Definitely a staple in my routine now!

This product is helping my afro hair truly thrive!
Scent: Bright Coffee, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've used this product for 1 month so far. Applying to my scalp, hair and the ends of hair approx 1-2 times per week. These are my benefits on my long afro hair: - First off, my scalp doesn't particularly like oil on it, it would trigger itching, dandruff, etc., but it certainly loves this stuff. - bald spots started growing back in. - drastic reduction in hair shed. - For a long while, I had difficulty retaining hair moisture. My hair is FINALLY getting the nourishment and moisture it needs and deserves. - hair is noticeably softer and even more manageable. - I detangled my entire head within 15 minutes the other day which is a first for me. - Hair is thickening. Which in my opinion is because my hair is shedding less. Like my braids appear half an inch thicker than they were. - Scalp stopped itching. - Dandruff stopped. As far as the scent goes, it smells soo good to me. i read authentic batana oil is supposed to smell like burnt coffee. Maybe it's just me but it smells like caramelized honey. All in all I'm soo happy i was guided to batana oil because it has done wonders for me in such a short period of time. Very happy with my purchase and would recommend.

Thicker & Healthier Hair
Scent: Bright Coffee, Size: 4.06 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this Batana oil for a few weeks and I can already see a difference in my hair. My hair feels softer, thicker, and looks much healthier. The scalp oil keeps my scalp moisturized without feeling too greasy, and the natural formula gives me confidence that I’m using a quality product. I also noticed less hair shedding and better shine after regular use. The scent is natural and the mask is easy to apply. Great for both men and women who want stronger, fuller-looking hair.
