As most of you know, I love vintage children’s books because of the illustrations….I recently saw this book on Ebay and was amazed by the graphics!!!!
This was described as an original 1846 publishing…I think that is incredible! It is in such good condition and I only paid $15.00 for it!
Aren’t this great?????
And then I saw this book….another Watty Piper book…he is most famous for “The Little Engine that Could”
Again great graphics and many stories just like the one above…
These are great children’s books to have in your library for your grandkids also, just beautiful books from an era that was so prolific in wonderful graphics!
I also received a wonderful box from Miss E….
I am pulling out the Easter and Spring bins soon!
Thanks for stopping by…

I have my original Bumper Book from 1956- it was my favorite book!
I just got a copy for a friend with her first grand baby!
You got a great price- I have seen this sell on Ebay for over $100!
My first comment on your blog- have been reading for months-love miss Elizabeth too!! Cheryl
What a beautiful book! I can't wait to bring out Spring from the bins in the garage!!Happy Monday!!
The illustrations are so sweet!!!
I, too, grew up with The Bumper Book. My son has the one from my childhood, but he keeps it stored away for safekeeping. I wish he would share it with his kids. Perhaps I'll look for another one on ebay. Thanks for the memories!
Such beautiful graphics in those books!! Love what Miss Elizabeth sent you! So cute! xo Heather

E's artwork is awesome, too! I have a little duck coming my way, can't wait!

Oh Sandy! These books are wonderful! Do you think Meri could scan the alphabet letters for us? How cute would they be in our paper art!
