this book is pure nostalgia. one look at the cover and you see the mid-century artwork's charm and colors.
the book would look adorable on an easel in a nursery, child's bedroom, playroom, homeschooling area, or classroom.
homeschooling families might have your children research different versions of a tale from older and newer books.
the book's stories are longer than today's books for little ones. but this book is so special and so unique. i love it. and i'm picky about children's books--i've belonged to the society of children's writers and illustrators for 30 years.
i spotted this in a tiny town's cute antique store outside kansas city. several other wonder books were in the same booth. i believe the same owner had these books their whole life and it explains why they were all in such great condition.
other than speckling on some darker colors/aging around the edges, the book is in nearly perfect condition.
vintage item, as-is, with lots of photos for you to check out
