1953

I am so glad several university libraries are holding on to this relic. This just screams 1950s. It still is in some school libraries holdings and I wonder how well it must be holding up after a nearly sixty years. Of course it is outdated. In the meantime, enjoy this time capsule of 1950s kiddie crafts. Just out of curiosity, how many of you folks under 35 know what a “sachet” is? I honestly don’t think I have heard that term in ages. Also, since we are talking 1950s, is it just me or is this style of illustration a bit creepy? I think the people look a bit like casting for Children of the Corn.
