I love books, especially vintage children's books!
This old school workbook is a 1952 edition. I couldn't read at that age but it may have been the same Alice and Jerry book I used when I started school in 1957.
It had never been used. Maybe I should try to see if I can answer all the questions correctly! (can I still tell time with one of these clocks? Can you? heeheehee)
And this book, Little Songs for Little People is dated 1968 which would have been in my teen years.
I was happy to find the workbook at Etsy and the songbook at the thrift store for a quarter.
It's a good month to reminisce! I'll let you know why in a couple of weeks! heehee! Sometimes when I look back at my post after it's published I think I should take out some of the heehees! But that wouldn't be keeping it real, would it?

...I started school a bit before you and I don't remember these!
Do you place a hee hee whenever you find yourself chuckling as you write? If so, it makes your mood all the more readable. What nice finds you have! Playing detective, is it time or nearly time to wish you a 🎉? Gosh, I am full of questions lately. 🤦🏻♀️
Hello,
I was born in 56, so I started school in the 1960's. The book is cute, I always loved reading. Enjoy your day, have a great weekend ahead.
Oh I love those old books Diane. What a find!!
I love old children's books! I have a few too! I was collecting the Billy and Blaze books because those were my favorites to check out from the library when I was in elementary school....leave the heehees I like them!
I like your HeeHees. They are so very you. xo Laura
I love those old children's books. Gosh, I graduated high school the same year you started school. Our little books were about Dick and Jane. You have a super day, hugs, Edna B.
Vintage children's books are always fun and these are really unique and special. I love the illustrations so very much!
Ha ha, I love your heehee's! They make me smile! Such cute little books! I love vintage children books as well. They have always remained magical!
Love from me Ria 💕 like the books ...

I too love old those old vintage childern's books.
You have some really nice ones.
I work as a Reading Interventionist at a Primary School and I LOVE these type of books. I learned to read with Dick and Jane. I have a few vintage primary reading books and am always looking for more. Thank you for linking these up!
I love your "hee-hee's". And I also love vintage children's books. I have some and I don't want to part with them. Some were mine as a child. It was such a sweet age when we were children...looks like you and I were of the same era. Thank you for sharing these. They bring back happy memories. "hee hee". :)
We must have started school at about the same time. I remember Dick & Jane & Spot but not this book. Interesting!!
You have your 'hee hees' and I have my 'LOL's'! I love your children's books. You have great items down there to snap up and at such great prices too!
Diane, I enjoy looking at kids' books too. Those are cute ones you have found.
Leave the heehees, it lets us know your are tickled. I put LOL in my blog lots. Take care, blessings to all, xoxo,love, Susie
Wonderful treasures! Thank you for sharing! Have a wonderful weekend!
I still have all my Little House books. and so many others.
I like the heehees! Makes me chuckle, too. I learned to read with Dick and Jane and your books look quite similar. What a fun thing to find! Is there a birthday coming up????
Oh these are delightful vintage children's books ~ ^_^
Happy Moments to You,

These are adorable Diane, love them! As far as I know, you and I are the only ones who enjoy and post children's books (correct me if I'm wrong or forgot someone!)....and I love seeing them. They bring back alot of happy innocent childhood memories, guess that is why I like looking at them. I think I had Dick and Jane, I never had this one, so that is cool to see! Do y'all have any hikes planned for this weekend? Hugs!
How cute. I also love old books. We read Sally, Dick and Jane a lot. Those were the days, weren't they?
Love these books with their sweet illustrations. They have such vintage charm.

What a great share...I don't remember the first one---we had the Dick and Sally books, which I believe was a different publisher. But, I can sure relate to the insides. The music book is so sweet, I worked in the college library and remember this from the children's department as we had an early childhood education major. Such, simplicity but the most glaring change between the books in a few years was the children in the second book are ethnically diverse! Thank you for the great step into nostalgia!
Beautiful.
Very cute. Different style than today.
My own are quite vintage too!:)
Keep on laughing...I love that about you! Oh my gosh, I’m soooo old! I remember Alice and Jerry , but that book would have been *after* my time with them...I’d have been reading an earlier edition. (In 1952, I was a sophisticated sixth grader (Lol).
I enjoy seeing the children's books that you come across, Diane. They are special, indeed. And please don't stop saying "hehehe." I say it all the time. ; )
