re-discovered while sorting through
old Christmas storybooks from childhood: See the inscriptions?
My sister Peggy's Little Golden
Christmas book from the 1950s,
and
her son Jerrod's Little Golden
Christmas book from the 1970s!
We all loved this one!
But did we know that it was illustrated
by the legendary Richard Scarry?
I don't think so!
I assumed that his popularity began when
our kids were small, not “back in the day”
when my siblings and I were little tykes!
~ Copyright 1950 ~ The page I remember best:
The apple in the snow!
Speaking of legendary,
when it comes to nostalgic illustrators,
no one compares to Eloise Wilkin:
If you no longer have every little
book from childhood, never fear!
This fun anthology is filled with favorite pages,
some long forgotten, some long - remembered!
The selections range from 1946 - 2011,
generations of Golden Christmas Memories!
