Eloise Byington books for children
/Internet Archive has 3 books by Eloise Byington published by Albert Whitman & Company in Chicago around 1930. I couldn’t find anything about the author or the illustrators (Kathleen Stowell Frantz and Marguerite Jones); the copyright was by Albert Whitman & Co. so perhaps their work was contracted/paid by the publisher.
Mother Goose fun, more stories in rhyme(1931)
The wishbone children(1934)
The Pancake Brownies (1928)
The books captured my attention simply because of when they were published. My parents were both born in 1931 and as I browsed these books (particularly the illustrations), I thought about whether they would have ever seen these books in elementary school. Did their school have a library of children’s books that supplemented the books used in the classroom? I’ll have to ask my mother….see if she remembers.
