Found these books during my "pickin" adventures and thought they came together as a nice set for reference for home school or classroom teachers with just the right amount of vintage vibe! There are four in this set:

1. "Lots More Tell Me Why Answers to Questions Children Ask" by Arkady Leokum, Illustrated by Cynthia and Alvin Koehler, Copyright 1972 Library of Congress.

Slight corner rubbing and edge wear, yellow paper hard cover is still bright. Residual sticker backing in top right corner. Greeting to original owner on first page in ink.

2. "500 Live Ideas For The Grade Teacher" by Betty Loise Eckgren and Vivian Fishel, Illustrated by Dorothy Todd, Copyright 1952 Row, Peterson and Company.

This is a book of 500 activities, handicraft project, puzzles, riddles, and games that answer the need for fresh, appealing material in the classroom and on the playground, augmented by more than 175 illustrations. The authors compiled the ideas from their own teaching experiences and associations. In doing so, they have included games and activities that can be correlated with specific subjects. And in each instance they have concentrated on "the practical, on the inexpensive, and on the easy way of making and doing things." Slight corner rubbing and edge wear, cover is still bright.
