When will I ever grow up?


Its a gloomy rainy Saturday morning and, to cheer myself up, I dug out some of my vintage children's books.
I enjoy them for the contents but most of all for the illustrations
Sweet and sentimental, the artwork takes you back to a more innocent time in your life
A time when children played together, shared their toys, and filled the neighborhood with laughter
When farmlife was a learning experience and you could track the life of your livestock from birth to the great beyond
Community, caring and wide~eyed to the experiences of the world around them.

Just adorable...that little girl on the bird book! And I love the counting book, the kids are so cute with the little fire engine! I haven't seen any of those before.
