Vintage Children's Books
I don't have children of my own, but I enjoy finding old books for their illustrations (especially the pen and ink ones), or for gifts. Here are some recent finds:
Adorable "Little Red Riding Hood" from 1967. It originally had a Peepul Pals doll to go with it. I checked ebay, and Peepul also had games and paperdolls...similar to Little Kiddles.
Thrift store price: tag says 60 cents, but if I remember correctly, it was a dime.
"Cannonball Simp", a cute little book from 1966, about a dog who joins the circus.
Thrift store price: 50 cents.
Trees illustration from an amazing book, "A Tree Named Moses", by Laura Nelson Baker, 1966. I adore this book.
Thrift store price for former library book: 50 cents.
Bird illustration from same book:
Fun fable, "The Swineherd". Whimsical illustrations, though not very detailed.
No date, but perhaps late 70's. How sad that I'm labeling that 'vintage'. Sigh.
Thrift store price: 45 cents.
