ReplyDeleteI have "if you lived in colonial times" from the "if you" series. Didn't realize there were so many!
ReplyDeleteMagic Fish is one of my favorites! I love that Ed Arno was an illustrator for New Yorker magazine.
ReplyDeleteI still laught at the Kangaroo Stew cover... Mmm, kangaroos are so tasty that even the kangaroo on the cover likes it!
ReplyDeleteOf course the mother of all of these half-sized Scholastics is Clifford the Big Red Dog by Norman Bridwell. (I like the inclusion of the non-Clifford Bridwell here.) At some point, Bridwell redrew all of those early Clifford books, cleaning up his line, and switching from two-color to four-color. I haven't been able to find any information on when that change happened and how many of the books appeared in the earlier rougher format. I have three of them and they're far superior to the Clifford we know today. Anyone have any information on how many appeared in this Scholastic format and when they were redrawn?
ReplyDeleteI have two of them on my daughter's bookshelf that were mine as a child. Loved them!
