Frosty the Snow Man


Annie North Bedford - 1950
    Who can resist the tale of children enjoying the fun of building Frosty, when suddenly to their astonishment, he comes alive! The children in the neighborhood have never had a better winter of sledding, ice skating, and building snow houses, until one day, a warm wind blows. What will happen to Frosty? 8 1/2" X 11 3/4".

The Animals' Merry Christmas (Giant Golden Books)


Kathryn Jackson - 1950
    This oversize format features Scarry’s earlier, more painterly style and makes a perfect gift. A true holiday treat for Scarry fans!

The Shiniest Star


Beth Varden - 1950
    This book has the following lines: "When the Christmas Star is shining in the dark blue sky at night, / Did you ever start to wonder how it got to be so bright? / Well, some special little angels(just the very smallest size) / Use to have the job of shining all the stars up in the skies./An alarm clock rang at sundown--(when most children go to bed!) / Waking Pigtails, walking Crewcut, waking little Touslehead." Note: there is a current version available with illustrations by Charlot Byi, though not will all the original ''extras'' like the manger scene and the whistle.

Joy Levitt - 1950
