Oh! such a woebegone little book. Cover missing, whole pages gone and funny random bits cut out. Obviously very well loved by a little boy and later his sister so very long ago.
(I'm so sorry that I couldn't post this charming book in its entirety - my younger self apologizes for any role she may have played in the removal of the pages and denying you the complete story of little Bobbie's trials making his big decision. Thankfully the climactic end and Bobbie's choice are intact so, SPOILER ALERT teehee!)
I love the art and the colors. This book looks very well-loved. I'm sure it was read many, many times (and maybe cut up just a smidge!) :) Thanks for sharing it! Hope you're keeping cool - xox
ReplyDeleteVintage books are the best. Love the art work.
ReplyDeleteCute story, too.

I applaud his choice; this is a cute little book.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Bobbie! You spent it on an "experience" and not a "thing". HaHa!
ReplyDeleteThe book is so cute! :)

Oh...so sweet! What a darling little tale! Now, little Bobbie would need at least a dollar, I'm afraid.

What a precious loved book. I have not heard the story before. A nickel wouldn't do diddly for Bobby now days. lol! I remember walking to the local grocer and buying a Butterfinger candy bar for 5 cents. Boy have times changed.
