We encourage our young (and young at heart) readers to celebrate with one of the many excellent titles from The New York Review Children’s Collection. We recommend The Mousewife, illustrated by William Pène du Bois, whose birthday—May 9th—falls right in the middle of Children’s Book Week, or Bel Ria: Dog of War, by Sheila Burnford, who was born on May 11th in the year before Children’s Book Week began.
