These are all books I've brought home in the past few weeks... I'm really starting to worry about where I'm going to put these books I'm buying...
I had both of these when I was little, I think we may actually have another copy of the Mother Goose book but the Little Lulu book, I was so happy to find that one - it looks like this copy is a first edition. I bought it at an antique mall the other week when I was away, at this booth the books were $3, another booth $15, of course, the book I'm looking for - The Costume Party - it has been there for a long time but who's going to buy that for $15?
What a coincidence, another "Jill" owned this book. I loved this one, Lulu and Tubby are not happy they have to look after Alvin - can you tell??
I had the Cinderella book too - these are both Wonder books - it just takes me back looking at those pictures, I thought Cinderella was so beautiful when she was dressed for the ball!
I was lucky to find some Eloise Wilkin books too - my collection is growing..
From "So Big"
From "We Like Kindergarten"
This is not the standard Little Golden Book for Eloise Wilkin - it's called a Golden Look Look Book, the illustrations are so beautiful in all of her books.
From "Little Prayers"
The Rand McNally Elf Junior books are so cute but I rarely ever see them. Some of the illustrations are colored, some are only red, white and grey.
I've never seen these before - My First Golden Learning Library - they are copyright 1965, each one has a foil spine that is solid colored
Timothy's Book of Trains was printed and made in Great Britain, I can't find any date on it at all, it looks old.
I used to love watching "The Flintstones"
Can't go wrong with a Charlie Brown book
Carla had a bunch of these books, I have pretty well all of their children's books, but I don't think I kept any of these - so I HAD to buy it!
I've always loved books myself so I guess it's just natural that I would be drawn to these old ones. And, it's an inexpensive thing to buy! They're so nice, I can't really help myself!
