Books! ☜

By Murray McCain. Illustrated by John Alcorn, Simon and Schuster, 1962.

Books! is the precursor to the equally delightful Writing!. McCain and Alcorn created these books during a time of major shifts in children's publishing, and their mix of humor, charm, and creativity still feels fresh today. (Originals of both books are hard to find, but luckily, they're back in print as of this posting.)
