More vintage-to-antiques children's books, starting with "School Days in Disneyville," a 1939 first edition. Board covers with some staining and wear to corners; blank frontispiece page has been half removed; interior pages intact and unmarked. Full color illustrations in the classic Disney style accompany stories starring Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Pluto, the Three Little Pigs and other favorite characters. 
"Work-A-Day Doings," from 1914, is a first edition in cloth-covered boards with stamped title and image, telling the stories of many different animals trying to accomplish various tasks. Charming black and white illustrations by Harry Wood. Wood was a prolific artist, and here we see him in the forefront of a loosening up of the ornate style of the late 1800s. The individuality of the pen stroke is becoming more prominent as children's book illustration heads into its golden age. Endpapers in place, spine intact, some marking inside front board and an instance of restrained coloring by a young artist in no way detract from the overall appeal of this book.

"Playtime," from 1927, is part of the Newson Readers-Primer series, designed to enhance reading skills in primary grades. Beautiful three-color illustrations on every page. Blue cloth boards with three-color title and image on front cover, illustrated endpapers (front papers have been, uhm, enhanced by a young artist), and slight staining to top of all pages.  
Finally, "The Adventures of Old Mr. Toad," 1920 edition, by Thornton W. Burgess. Burgess was a Cape Cod native, and the stunningly prolific author of children's books featuring a huge range of animals, and much more. This copy has passed through many hands. Spine has separated, front endpapers bear the names of those who have called it their own, and one page is missing. To read more about Burgess and his many interests,
