Curious Mr. Rabbit on Blue Monday!


I love these vintage children's books especially classics like this one, Mother West Dind's Children, by Thornton W. Burgess and published by Grosset and Dunlap!
Isn't that curious Mr. Rabbit just too darn cute!


For more Monday Blues, go to Smiling Sally's Blue Monday!
Happy Blue Monday Everyone!

  12. Happy Monday as we welcome another work week. I was in Montana and Idaho last fall-it was fun scouring the antique shops and finding old books I had read as a child.

  16. I'm not a fan of Blue, but this book is so precious! :-)

    You are sweet to do a give away. But since I have never done one, I don't put my name in any give aways. I hope you will understand.

  21. Hi Coralie, That is a sweet book. Books today are not as charming as the old ones. The rabbit does look like he is hiding and listening. Bad rabbit. HA!
    Congratulations on 500 Posts. It really is an accomplishment. blogging takes so much time. I find I struggle with visiting everyone as often as I would like. I see lots of bloggers who visit so much,then get burned out quick. Several of my blogging friends have stared out like crazy and then in a few months just get over it. Slow and steady, that's me. I do enjoy your blog very much.

    Have a wonderful week
    Hugs, Jeanne
