When I posted recently about my
Memory Game, I mentioned that I thought I recognized some of the images on the cards as perhaps being from one of my childhood books. Well, I got to digging around, and guess what I found? See the rabbit card? There he is on the cover of this book:

I had written in another post
back in 2007 that this book was among my favorites. I even did two other posts where I featured
one of the great illustrations in
each. I also found the fox from the Memory card!

And the little king:

I completely adore the illustrations of Alice and Martin Provensen - they are so unique and so wonderful.

You have made a fantastic, exciting discovery. I have always loved that copy of A Child's Garden of Verses! I wish I had all my old books available because you have made me want to look through them and enjoy them again. Love T
your memory game worked - look what you discovered!
You have a wonderful memory! I'm envious. Twyla
That is a fantastic book! I've never seen it, but if I ever do, I'll grab it! I adore children's book illustrations, especially in this style.
