Wash your hands please


I have a thing for vintage children's books. Especially illustrated books. But every once in a while i pick up one that doesn't has a lot of pretty images. Sometimes it's because of the subject or if the book has a gorgeous cover.
Or in this case, it was the bright red sticker inside. I had never seen it before and i adore it. Looking at the stains underneath it, not everyone did actually wash their hands! (yuck!, but believe me, the rest of the book is very clean!) Plus the book has a lending card in it. Which i always see as a plus, because to me it adds some history. I love seeing handwritten kids names and the lending dates. Unfortunately on this card no year was added, but Jennifer L, Angela and Anfleur have all read the book at one time!

Hail, Hail Camp Timberwood by Ellen Conford was printed in 1978 and has a wonderful bound to stay bound leather cover (which is in perfect shape, so bound to stay bound really works).
