My sister and I have been looking for this book series from our childhood for close to 10 years now…ever since they were lost in a flood at our mother’s house.<\/p>\n

These were hardcover books on various subjects titled things such as Playing, Gardening, Collecting, <\/em>and Cooking. <\/em>Each book was a different solid color with a circular picture on the front. The artwork in the books was by various artists and the writing was instructional in nature. For instance, the Playing <\/em>book would have various games divided into chapters for things such as group games, team games, games for rainy days, etc<\/p>\n

I say they are from the 70’s but I’m really not sure. From what I remember some of the artwork was very reminiscent of the style in Per Holm Knudsen’s How Baby is Made<\/em>\u00a0while others remind me of the artwork of Mad Magazine’s Mort Drucker. This, of course, is coming from my memories as a young child…so I could be way off on those comparisons.<\/p>\n

One additional thing is that while watching a video yesterday, I spotted this in the background which appears to be one of the books. I’m not 100% on that, but I figured it was worth including here.<\/p>\n
