Thank You For My Nice Brown Roll


I found this sweet little image in a thrift shop earlier this year. They had pages from vintage prayer books for sale at 50 cents each. I got the wooden frame in the same shop for 50 cents, as well, if I recall correctly. Together they created an adorable little picture that I look forward to adding to my Thanksgiving decorations this year. Okay - first I have to pack up Halloween!

    This little picture makes me hungry. How many points do you think that roll is?

    Lovely. Do you have any idea what children's book it came from? Illustrator's name?

    Truman - thank you for your comment. This framed picture is packed away, but when I click on the picture to enlarge, it looks like Bess Bruce Cleveland, or Leaveford or - I really can't make out the last name at all. Maybe knowing the first names will help you? I bought the page alone, so I'm afraid I have no idea what book it was taken from. Thank you for visiting my blog!

    I loved this book when I was young. I wondered if anyone else had read it. It begins with boy thanking his mother for a nice brown roll and his mother tells him to thank the baker, etc. until he ends up thanking God.

    Hi Edith! Thanks so much for your comment. Do you happen to know the name of the book, or the author's name?

    I have a book entitled "Standard Bible Story Readers, Book 1" by Lillie A Faris, The Standard Publishing Foundation, Cincinnati, copyright 1925
    The story is "Our Daily Bread"
    The little boy starts by thanking his mother and being told "Don't thank me. Thank the___"
    So his mother says to thank the miller, who sends him to the farmer, who says to thank the rain, then the sun, and finally God who made it all.
    "Thank you, God. Thank you for my nice brown roll."
    A delightful little story. My children enjoyed it as much as I did as a child, and now my grandchildren ask for it.
