little golden books ~ baby animals

more little golden books ~

baby animals by garth williams ~

a nice vintage .29 cent edition ~

toxic remembers having this one ~

the baby skunk here is adorable, but they are less so in real life in your backyard ~

i'll take raccoons & possums anyday rather than skunks ~

we have regular raccoon families play on our back deck ~

i know we have owls around here but i'd sure like to see one.. (is this owl peeping in someone's window or what?)~

classic back cover design ~

this one was a prize from weinerschnitzel ~
