Quick quiz for children's book experts.

 
I found this at a flea market this weekend and almost fainted.

Bought it for a dollar.

Recognize the illustrator?

Think about it for a bit. 

Here's another hint:

The eyebrows are a dead giveaway.

Do you have a guess?

Positive?

Last chance before I give it away...

Okay, I lied.

For real, now. 

Here goes --

That is hilarious!!!

[Kelly]

Excellent! Makes up for those damn bears.

[Fuse #8]

This is the kind of thing I dream of coming across, every time I stop by a garage sale. What was the year?

[Leila]

1963.

I actually found two others, but I'm saving them.

[iliana]

I knew right away! Too funny. I want to see the others too.

[Leila]

Awesome! One of my staff members did, too.

I don't know if I would've been able to identify them -- though I really do think that those eyebrows are classic, so maybe I would have.

I'll post more pictures at some point.

[Lauren]

This needs to be made into bags. Even if you're just color copying the cover and then stitching it.

Oh, and in other news, I finally have a Bedazzler.

[Leila]

Yeah. I thought about the bag option, and it would have to be color copies -- I can't bear to give the books up, even though they're falling apart.

I am impressed about the Bedazzler. I know I own at least TWO rhinestone setters, but I can't find either of them. You will post pictures of your shiny crafts, right?

[nrkii]

That is the best flea market find, perhaps... ever.

[Lauren]

Yeah. I just need to design the perfect skull, and then I'm gonna put it on everything.

[Gregory K.]

That rocks. Utterly. My mom (yay mom!) snagged me their Parenting book from the 50s one day, but yours is far, far, far superior. All hail the flea!

[Adam]

Good find for you, bad find for me. My supervisor was standing behind me when I opened this website a couple of days ago--he understood, but it didn't stop me from turning red.
