I was born in the late 70’s and my mom would read to me a used children’s book of holiday stories with anthropomorphic characters. I remember an owl (or maybe a family of owls); a mouse that ate paste in the Valentine’s story; a Halloween story and a Christmas story. I seem to remember the cover was orange and the illustrations were in black & white with a dash of orange. The illustrations were definitely done in the unique style of the late ’60s/early ’70s. Any ideas? Thanks!

Richard Scarry’s A Story a Day/365 Stories?
Thanks for the suggestion, Michelle. It wasn’t a Richard Scarry book. It was “darker” than those.
Loved this book as a kid and still have my copy!
