1930 · New York, New York
New York, New York: Saml. Gabriel Sons & Company, 1930. Very good. Leaves loosening. Light wear, toning, dust soiling. One leaf sunned. Pencil markings inside one cover.. Two (2) children's books for early readers featuring a fun novelty component: a die-cut window revealing googly eyes that move when the child shakes the book. The books are die-cut into the shape of a little boy and a little girl, and reinforce traditional gender roles: boys play sports and are rambunctious, while girls are sweet, play dress-up, do mending, and help mother with domestic tasks. The two books are:
