A Little Golden Activity Book
Mike and Melissa Paper Dolls
Written by Jane Werner Watson

I couldn't bear to break the binding and put this one in the scanner.
A gentle story of two little people that play many characters.
The 1950's moon magic in full glory.
Coincidence....we have a Dr. Mike at our house too...
Pirate boots up to your hips!
Santa suits trimmed in fur.
But this airman and flight attendant suit are my favorite.
Meet me over at Corey's for more Lil' Vintage Story Books.
"Boy" said Mike in plain English! I love the instructions: First read the story and THEN cut on the dotted lines! An Airman, WAY TOO CUTE!

Renee thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving some inspiration. OUt of all the comments I left on my favorite blogs you were the only one to comment back! That means so very much to me! I hope you have a lovely mothers day!
ReplyDeletewhat a treasure. i can't believe you found it completely intact. i wouldn't have scanned it either.
ReplyDeleteRenee,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those vintage children's books. I am thinking that I'm running out of space and need another shelf somewhere to put the rest up. If I could just stop buying them . . . but that wouldn't be any fun, would it? Thanks so much for the nice comment on my quilt table post, you come by and sew any time!
Julie
Have a lovely Mother's Day, my dear friend!!
