I attended Plat Elementary School in Colgate, WI and as a child in the 1st-4th grades I recall going to the tiny school\u2019s library and viewing a series of books – larger hard cover books – almost set up like an encyclopedia series. In one book there was a story featuring a giant eagle (possibly a thunderbird) carrying a little girl away on a mountain (or wilderness path of sorts). She had a gold dress on and wore pigtails. She was reaching out in the air in panic and there was a gentleman who was running after her in the background – I believe he had a green cap on and possibly suspenders – I thought he was German or Bavarian or from Europe (possibly the Canadian thunderbird story). The graphics looked very 50s – full color. In one of the other books of the series, there was a story about a tribe from Africa and they were showing them with spears defending against a giant and wild baboon with his mouth wide open attacking the men. They were carrying shields as well and this was also in full color.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s all I remember but wish I knew what this series was. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
