Another book read to me as a child was Animal Train. The train moves along on its journey with the animals safe and snug inside. The giraffe chews a hole in the roof of her car and a number of the animals climb out and ride on top. A predicament presents itself as the train keeps speeding along. The book by Elizabeth Roberts with adorable illustrations by Ben D. Williams is copyrighted 1952.

Walt Disney's Mother Goose
I love to read and I know this started at a very early age. My mother read to me and my brothers from the very beginning. One of myearliest books was Walt Disney's Mother Goose. This Little Golden Book was an introduction to reading and to Mother Goose. I'm a 1st grade teacher and find that a lot of kids today don't know these wonderful rhymes. The cover on the left is the actual cover of the copy we had at home (which disappeared a long time ago) and, I believe, dates to 1952. I recently found a copy of the book in a Minneapolis shop which has the cover shown at right. This edition was released in 2004.
