lime for another Christmas The book is titled Emily House It consists of a poem by Scharer that should be to all children A grade two girl found the book in mj perus ed it at once and told her mother that was the book she was going from Santa I bet every child Mill pick up the poem in no time flat lived in a little brick housewith a creaking old door and a little brown mouse It the kind of thing that enters the mind and stays there The illustrations for Emily House by Georgetown Joanne Fitzgerald are a wonder and a delight This artist draws as if with a feather and there is apparent nothing

and fresh giving the immediate of seen in sunlight water colors have a stiff innocent charm The two photographers are oh competent with the camera This of photography makes the most of the rich colors to be found in the Canadian landscape I quarrel with Ihe size of some of these photographs and with their ponderous framing There are art works that need to big and there are other art works that need to be medium sized or small Photography in my nion in particular nature photography should never go beyond medium size What convinced me of that was an exhibition by the outstanding Canadian
