Not sure if anyone has heard of this, but it looks absolutely delightful to me.
Unparalleled in its scope and quality, The 20th-Century Children's Book Treasury gathers 44 of the most memorable and beloved children's books of our time. Classics, contemporary bestsellers, medal winners, and family favorites are brought together in a collection designed for sharing and reading aloud. The content ranges from concept books and wordless books to picture books and short read-aloud stories, and represents the complete range of childhood themes and reading needs: ABCs, number and color books, stories about going to bed and going to school; stories about growing up, siblings, parents, and grandparents; animal stories, fantasies, fables, magical stories, stories about everyday life--and more. Each is handsomely reproduced with its original illustrations.
Selected by and introduced by distinguished children's book editor and publisher Janet Schulman, The 20th-Century Children's Book Treasury features the work of more than 60 renowned writers and artists. As a gift, a keepsake, and a companion in a child's first steps toward a lifelong love of reading, it belongs in every family's bookcase.

Here's the Amazon link if anyone's interested: 20th Century Children's Book Treasury -- Cindy's right -- it does look good (and then I'd know where all these books were  )

This book is indeed a treasure! Sorry, a bad pun!
We love it. I take it on long car trips and mini vacations b/c it is much easier than loading so many books for the length of time we will be away from home.
I second Cindy's recommendation. We bought it used from someone on Sonlight Catholic.

According to the reviews on Amazon, some of the books have had artwork removed and stories shortened. I bring this up so you won't be disappointed if you buy it and it's not what you expected. It would be great to have all these wonderful books together, but I'd rather have them in their complete original version. Just my 2 cents.

I also think that the pages are shrunk-so the illustrations are really small. We had it, and did enjoy it, but prefer the orginals.
