CHILD'S WORLD

As a child growing up, me and my brothers and sisters favorite book/s were THE CHILD'S WORLD series ( book #1 we called the bow wow book ) Ive been scouring ebay for them about awhile now, but since I didn't know the exact name of them I had no luck. So I asked my mom a couple weeks ago for the author and she said that she actually had an extra set & that she could send me the one we had growing up. So yesterday it arrived and I was instantly transplanted back into our living room seeing my mom read us one of our favorite poems "Indian children" and seeing me and my brothers and sister run around in circles whooping and hollering like Indians <- correct term "native americans"..... My mom always put a tune to the poems in such a slick and funny way that it would always make us wanna get up and dance :) lol Much of my inspiration as a child growing up came from these books, that I can't imagine not having them now as an adult. If your into vintage childrens books (these date from 1950 ) I HIGHLY recommend this series - They are hard to find though :/ here is book # 6 for sale through this link http://www.biblio.com/books/4122383.html
