This box set includes three of Rosemary Wells's best-loved board books–The Itsy-Bitsy Spider, Old MacDonald, The Bear Went Over the Mountain, and Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. The set also includes a poster of illustrations from Wells's bestselling book, Read to Your Bunny, and helpful tips for parents about successfully setting their babies on the road to reading.

We have always felt that it was important to include nursery rhymes in the Raising Reader collection. Many books that you will read with your children in the future are based on these core rhymes and songs. In the past we have distributed large, beautiful hardcover collections of nursery rhymes. Many families found those volumes too special to use for everyday reading to their babies. This boxed set of board books are durable and designed for everyday reading.

Rosemary Wells is not only a wonderful author and illustrator, but also an advocate for families reading together. The boxed set includes a folded poster and parent's guide with messages about reading. The poster is, in fact, the pages from the book Read to Your Bunny, a favorite of raising readers. This was an easy set to chose for the collection with all the best books and all the best messages for parents and babies.
