Oh, I love Slobodkin, but have not seen this one! I would love to win this one!
ReplyDeleteFirst! And Thanks for the heads-up on what looks like ANOTHER great kids book illustrator. Now I need to go find some more of his titles.

Thank you. I love vintage books. And I love coming here and getting a chance to win them. I haven't entered in awhile because I didn't want to seem greedy, but I just can't resist this week:-).
ReplyDeleteOoh...another new one to me. I'd love a chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI'll put my hat in for this one (you're allowed to enter if you've won before, right?)!
ReplyDeleteWord verification: toncest. Like twincest, I guess, but with fat people.
Very cool. I know his illustrations for The Moffats but not this one. Is it about math? I'm strangely obsessed with math-themed picture books, especially old ones.
ReplyDeleteHow do you find so many fabulous books? you must have some kind of good book vibe. this one looks charming! like all of them do!
ReplyDeleteI think this book sounds (and looks!) marvelous- I'm especially intrigued to see the beds and heads, once I read that it was one of your favorite parts! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the opportunity!
I could spend hours and hours just reading all your posts. I learn so much back story that makes the actual stories so much more colorful.
ReplyDeletewhat a fun book. My daughter always talks about millions and billions of people on Earth -- this would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteSlobodkin has what might be the best website for a deceased children's illustrator: http://www.slobodkin.org/books/index.html
ReplyDeleteOh YEAH... enter me PLEASE. Thank you so much for offering great books and reviewing awesome ones!

Fantastic--my kids would love it!
ReplyDeleteI would love it
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance - this looks like another great one!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I just picked up a copy of "The Hundred Dresses" by Estes / Slobodkin. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteNot familiar with this book, so I would love to win it!
ReplyDeleteWe're big Slobodkin fans here (*love* Nomi!), but this one is new to me!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this! Looks like something both of my kids would enjoy (and I know I will!).
ReplyDeleteAlso love Slobodkin, and don't know this one. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteI asume he's related to (the husband of?) Esphyr (sp?) Slobodkina of Caps for Sale? Anyway, I found your blog recently via the blog annieandunt@blogspot.com which is also about children's books.
ReplyDeleteI don't think they are related, but I could be wrong. Anyone?
ReplyDeleteooh... I've been looking for this book forever!
ReplyDeleteI'm in! It looks wonderful. Also, it really is a pity about the excess realism in kids' books these days.
ReplyDeleteMillions of thanks for your continued shares. They make my day a million times better!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to add this one to our library.
ReplyDeleteOooooh, this looks like a beautiful book, and I love this illustrator.
ReplyDeleteIt would be wonderful to see more of the illustrations- it's great when a book gets to talk to kids about all kinds of beautiful random things!
And thanks for posting more about the great Jack Kent! Round Robin is so neat~
Thanks again for a great blog!
Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great giveaway! I LOVE vintage books! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic opportunity for me as I have been wanting this book. I am a high school mathematics teacher and still read books at times to my students. I have heard of Millions and Millions and Millions and would love to have a copy of this book. Please enter me into this giveaway that I would very much love to win! (Hint: my birthday is on June 16th.)
ReplyDeleteThank you,
