In case you are just tuning in, I'm playing a little blog game this week with some of the other fun folks who have collections of vintage children's literature. If you'd like to join, I think there is still time. Just go on over to "meet me at mikes" for the directions.Today combines two of my favorites in one. Mother Goose and one of my very favorite artists Fern Bisel Peat. Her whimsical drawings have always fascinated me. I adore the expressions she puts into her characters. And don't you love the way she "draws" fabric? Lots of her pictures are filled with printed colorful calico.
This copy is from 1932.
Of course click on any picture to see them more clearly.
These Eleven Elephants are too funny.
