Roger Bradfield

THERE'S AN ELEPHANT IN THE BATHTUB published in 1964, was the first children's book by Roger Bradfield. Check out the cover gallery on his web site to see more of his many titles. One of these books, PICKLE CHIFFON PIE, has been reprinted by Purple House Press with THE FLYING HOCKEY STICK to come this spring. I've got some more scans here and at The Retro Kid flickr group.

Janet LaSalle: SOUND

These illustrations by Janet LaSalle are from the book SOUND originally published in 1962 as part of an educational series by Follett Pubishing Company. Her deceptively simple illustrations also appear in BILLY'S NEIGHBORS, another educational book by Follett from 1957. Many lively images from this book can be seen at my flickr page.
