Random Golden Book Stuff

Look how much fun kids used to have. Have you seen what the drawings look like in kids' books today?http://www.illustrationweb.com/style_gallery.asp?gallery_id=5

Here's two Disney books. One's from the late 40s and the other's from the 60s. The Cub Scouts is painted in a soft warm style and the 60s in a sharper cooler style. You can find tons more Mickey and Donald books all painted in different styles. Here's two giants: Tenggren and Crawford.

I'm not sure who painted this, and it's not a Golden Book, it's a similar type of book-maybe Whitman's Tell-a-tales.
I like the weird puppet-dog.



Sorry, nothing mind-blowing today. I'm still shopping for last minute gifts.
