I posted yesterday about how much fun I'm having with my reclaimed feedsack fabric squares and a pile of covered button blanks.
I've been reading to Porter a library book called The Animals of Farmer Jones by Richard Scarry. It's a Little Golden Book that was originally published in 1942.
The story is told by all of the various animals on Farmer Jones' farm. They're hungry and waiting for Farmer Jones to show up and feed them, which he eventually does. I've read this book over and over to Porter and one day I finally really looked at the illustrations instead of just focusing on the words, and was delighted at what I found:
Do you see them? Here, how about another illustration:
Printed feedsacks! Suddenly I don't mind reading this book for the 150th time. :)

Heh, I never noticed that before. We have an older copy of that book in the kids collection.
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time I had an original of that book. Funny how they come back around.
ReplyDeleteGood eye, Heidi! I need that book now.
