The newspaper cutting, from The Evening News, December 14, 1939, relates Doris’s memories of Rackham: ‘”He chose me from a number of little girls, and I was so pleased he copied my print frock exactly, because it was one my mother had allowed me to design myself... I loved to watch [Rackham] when he was drawing the Mad Hatter, because his own face took on the expression he was trying to get”’. Doris subsequently sat for Rackham’s Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.

    A Brief History of Children's Storybooks

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE SCHOOL OF VISUAL ARTS AN ORIGINAL STORY WITH RELIEF PRINT ILLUSTRATIONS MARILYN TURNER MCPHERON Fall 2010 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Art with honors in Art Reviewed and approved* by the following: Robin Gibson Associate Professor of Art Thesis Supervisor Jerrold Maddox Professor of Art Honors Adviser *Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College ABSTRACT Children’s literature, in the form of picture and storybooks, introduce a child to one of the most important tools needed to succeed in life: the ability to read. With the availability of affordable books in the 18th century, due to the introduction of new mechanization, individuals had the ability to improve their lives and widen their worlds. In the 19th century, writers of fiction began to specialize in literature for children. In the 20th century, books for children, with beautiful, colorful illustrations, became a common gift for children. The relatively rapid progression from moralistic small pamphlets on cheap paper with crude woodcuts to the world of Berenstain Bears, colorful Golden Books, and the tongue-twisters of Dr. Seuss is an intriguing social change. The story of how a storybook moves from an idea to the bookstore shelf is equally fascinating. Combining the history of children’s literature with how a storybook is created inspired me to write and illustrate my own children’s book, ―OH NO, MORE SNOW!‖ i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Schreyer Honors College,

Amy Hutchinson, Director of the Lake County Library District echoed my thoughts when she sent me an email saying, “Anyone who has travelled with me at all in the last five years knows that I have two cultural institutions that are priority visits: the art museum, and the public library. And I can skip the art museum if I have to. My friends and family have sat and looked at magazines in libraries everywhere from Charlotte, North Carolina to Lander, Wyoming to Eugene, Oregon so that I could have the chance to walk through the library building and see what I could see.

    1000 Good Books List Primary Reading Level 1 - 3

    1000 Good Books List Primary Reading Level 1 - 3 Bible for Preschoolers & Beginning Readers The Bible should be read aloud to children before they can read it for themselves. The regular family Bible is fine for this. For reading stories to children, we particularly like the New English Translation for its clarity and accuracy. In addition, The Bible in Pictures, The Child’s Story Bible, Egermeier’s, and The Golden Children’s Bible are excellent read-aloud Bibles for children. The Bible in Pictures is further illustrated with quality artwork on every page. The Beginner’s Bible is a well-done edition that beginning readers can read independently. Finally, A is for Adam, D is for Dinosaur, and The Gospel for Children are highly recommended presentations of the gospel for children. Beginner’s Bible by Karyn Henley Bible in Pictures edited by Rev. Ralph Kirby, published by Greystone Press Child’s Story Bible by Catherine E. Vos Egermeier’s Bible Story Book by Elsie E.

    Theodor Seuss Geisel 1904-1991 Author Study Melissa Kaplan

    10 Theodor Seuss Geisel 1904-1991 Author Study Melissa Kaplan Education 524 Dr. Jayne DeLawter Sonoma State University Copyright November 14, 1995 Like many children since 1937, Dr. Seuss was a part of my early life with such books as Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, And to Think That! Saw It All on Mulberry Street, Horton Hatches an Egg, stories of the Sneetches, and the east-going Grinch’s memorable confrontation with the west-going Grinch. They were fun books to read, certainly more fun and interesting than the books used at school to teach us to read...Dick and Jane were interesting only for the first several months, after which they were so boring that you knew you would never play with them if they ever came by. Not, perhaps, that you would ever really want to play with the Cat in the Hat. After all, how in the world would you tell your parents what happened if the Cat didn’t put everything right again? I re-read the books and some of the newer ones when my brother, almost four years my junior, was learning to read. By that time I was off into other books and other interests and, while they were colorful and fun, no longer seemed so entertaining. Despite that, however, I can still easily recall drawings from some of my favorite early Seuss stories. Several years ago, a book title in a catalog caught my attention: The Tough Coughs as He Ploughs the Dough. Working as I then was with many people for whom English was a second language, and trying to deal with creative spelling not only inside the office but on correspondence going out to clients, the often seemingly illogical spelling of words was always simmering in my mind somewhere.

    GOLDEN MEAN: COMMERCIAL CULTURE, MIDDLE-CLASS IDEALS, AND THE LITTLE GOLDEN BOOKS By JULIE SINN CASSIDY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2008 1 © 2008 Julie Sinn Cassidy 2 To all the Sinns and Scheitlins 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Before all else and for so many reasons, I thank my husband David J. Cassidy, a documentary film producer who will forever be plagued by a Partridge family pop star. This project on Little Golden Books came to fruition under the guidance of Dr. John Cech, to whom I am deeply grateful. Moreover, I want to thank my dissertation committee—Dr. Kenneth Kidd, Dr. Marsha Bryant, and Dr. Linda Lamme—for providing excellent insight, feedback, and encouragement throughout this process. They have all challenged and shaped me as a writer and scholar. For her editorial eye, I would also like to thank Miriam Downey, who read every word of this dissertation multiple times. This project would not have been possible without two specific Little Golden Book collectors, Steve Santi and Holly Everson, who provided me with access to their collections and answered my numerous questions. Diane Muldrow, the current editor of the Little Golden Books at Random House, graciously filed in any information gaps. The generous Children’s Literature Association’s Hannah Beiter Graduate Student Scholarship and the University of Florida’s O. Ruth McQuown Supplemental Scholarship for Graduate Women provided me with the funds to travel across the country, dig through archives, and present at conferences.
