New York: Holiday House, 1936. Rounds' first book, "a true account of the seemingly incredible exploits and inventions of the great Paul Bunyan", not based on any extant folklore, but, as Rounds admitted some years later, mostly made up by him. Rounds, born in South Dakota in 1906, was an itinerant worker for some years, studying art under Thomas Hart Benton (Jackson Pollock was a fellow student) at the Art Students League of New York from 1930-31 and convincing Holiday House to publish this book shortly after their founding; he went on to write or illustrate over 100 books in an over-60-year career. Small hardcover in jacket, as pictured; SIGNED by Rounds on the first page. First edition (first printing) with same date on title & copyright pages, no later printings noted. Light wear to book, base of spine bumped; delicate jacket, seldom found unchipped, shows only light edgewear & some tanning, but is, alas, price-clipped. Text clean; [2], [134] pages, line drawings, illustrated 'map' endsheets..…

1914 1ed Butterfly Babies Book Gordon Ross Children Literature Color IllustratedM.T. Ross, "Penny", was a popular artist and cartoonist in the early 1900s whose works include "The Flower Babies Book", "The Flower Children", "Butterfly Babies", "Bird Children", "Animal Children" and others. He was also the originator of the extremely popular comic strip "Mamma's Angel Child" for the Chicago Tribune and worked with Walt Disney before he made his own company.
Elizabeth Gordon was a fantasy author and poet. Her book 'Butterfly Babies' Book' is a short children's fantasy collection of poems that anthropomorphize butterflies giving them names and stories while giving information through poetry on the trees and flowers they eat and take shelter from. The book ends with an area for the reader to notate when they see butterflies and what butterflies they see.
This charming children's book of poems contains color illustrations from Ross on each page of each butterfly including on the cover boards!

1860 FAIRY TALES Charles Perrault Illustrated Cinderella French Riding Hood RARE"A dream is a wish your heart makes."
― Charles Perrault, Cinderella
Charles Perrault was a 17th-century French author who is most-remembered for his fairy tales. When "Les Contes" was first written it was quite ahead of its time, and his writing helped lay the groundwork for a new literary genre that would become very popular throughout Europe of the next century. Many of his fairy tales include stories that are still popular today such as Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Thumbelina, and Sleeping Beauty.
This printing is a fine, 19th-century printing that includes charming illustrations and a decorative front cover.

This delightful pictorial retelling of the famous English fairy tale was written by Hallam Tennyson and published in 1886. Nearly complete Caldecott would pass before completing his work for this book. Despite being unfinished, in memoriam for Caldecott, the publisher elected to utilize his 30 charming sketches in their "incomplete" state. A timeless tale accompanied by timeless art. A must-own for any collector of children's tales.

"In this book, real life photos are used to help young people feel more comfortable with interacting with other children and making new friends. A Note From Fred Rogers: A child's first visit with a pediatrician usually comes soon after birth. It may be months or even years later, though, that a child first shows fear about going to see a doctor. The worry of an injection or some other unfamiliar medical procedure can trigger that fear. It can also appear because another family member may be feeling medical anxieties. And, of course, new body awareness and needs for privacy develop naturally in children's early years, so all these feelings can make it very hard for them to let doctors investigate the workings of…
