The listing, COME ONE, COME ALL by Houghton Mifflin has ended.
it has stories and one play. It's about 285 pages long, and divided into four sections: "Growing Up," "Tomie de Paola," "Aesop's Fables," and "In and Out of Trouble." Each section has 3 - 4 stories, 1 or 2 poems, and suggestions for other books about the same theme that a reader might like. Each story is followed by a short biography of the author and things to think or talk about or to do. Many of the stories are picture books, or even early chapter books, that I'm familiar with: M&M and the Mummy Mess; Best Friends by Steven Kellogg; and The Art Lesson, Now One Foot, Now the Other, and Sttrega Nona's Magic Lessons, all by dePaola. The book has full-color illustrations on every page that are taken from the original books. And at the end, there's a glossary of words that younger elementary kids might not know, especially if they're English Language Learners: advertise, allow, ancient, artist, awful, bail out, bandage, blink, and bumpy are the A's and B's. It's solidly bound and uses glossy, good-quality paper
