I wonder if any of you old timers can help me out. When I was a baby, I remember picture books with photos of Monkeys or Cats and Dogs or other critters dressed in human clothing. I collect old children's books and I have searched for these particular books, but not knowing the author and only guessing that they were printed in the 40's or 30's.. I'm not having much success.. Do any of you remember them or know the authors? Thanks

Well, Maggie, I gotta say in all the children's books I've owned and seen I have never laid eyes on those!
What year is that book? Who's the publisher?
I thought you meant actual photographs of the animals which I think were done in the 50's.(?)
Tom, I don't believe I have that one in my collection

Buster Rabbit the Explorer sounds good.

I'd love to find a Wynken,Blynken and Nod from the 40's....got any
I found one Maggie on ebay ...do they have illustrations?
The dumb seller didn't picture any. Plus it's from 1960..kinda new for me.
Found one in a completed auction....she's a red head!

Bush was right. The truth did come out and the facts are he misled Congress and the American people about the reasons we should go to war in Iraq.

At least he finished his childrens book long ago. You're still struggling with page turns. Here's a lil hint for ya, it helps if you lick your page turning finger, makes it easier to turn the page.

I dare anyone here to show me a REAL book with those pictures and story line.
Curious George is a great book series, not one that political or deserves to be satired in that way.
Democrats couldn't get their loser elected and chooses to make fun of the winner, now that is class. NOT!

Oh LindaTwelve K you stupid old cow!
Your hackneyed, worn out posts like "LOL....now crowfarm thinks she either OWNS this venue or that she is the board monitor. LOL I love it. LOL "
are so tranparently just meant to cause trouble.
Too stupid to read a book?...attack the poster.
TOO filled with hate to have a decent post?...attack the poster.
Too stupid to print anything funny , witty , original ??
Then post something as lame as this..
"""piinthesky - Your comments and comebacks had ME laughing. Very, very good."""
From lame to lamer...what a ridiculous post...."""I dare anyone here to show me a REAL book with those pictures and story line. (What kind of childish gibberish ... "I dare...blah, blah , b;ah.."

Not like your friend , Dble, that's for sure. I see your dear close personal friend had a major mental collapse yesterday ...now THAT was hilarious
Even funnier than when you lose it.
Get up on the wrong side of the carpet this morning , LindaTwelveK ? You sure are spoiling for a fight. I can envision the drool running down your chin now.
Well, have fun!
Just some friendly advice....threads about books are a lot easier to post to if you've read a book before
