white square little book
The Mr Men Series - Roger Hargreaves - Review:
The size of the book (small), the colours used (bright) and the drawing style on the cover (naïve) told me I was looking at a Mr Man Book.
yep I saw in Powells box this morning: L'ami de Madame Chance. and I had no distinct memory of the series but some memory of the square white little (2 staples as binding!) book with colorful person.
The books are all exactly the same in format – small, square, with white covers with a bold illustration of the featured Mr Man on front.
The Mr Men are all drawn with a cartoon-like simplicity that makes them so appealing to kids. They have funny shapes – ranging from round or oval right through to triangular and, in the case of Mr Greedy, pot bellied. They also have bright colours.
The Mr Men are a bunch of funny little fellows who seem to live inside a child’s drawing. Each one of them has only one defining characteristic – and this provides him with his entire life’s purpose. Mr Small, for instance, spends his whole day coping with being small. This includes eating one cornflake for breakfast. That makes me laugh even now!
The Little Miss books arrived in the Eighties...
Mr Hargreaves died in 1988, but his legacy lives on, and now his son Adam does the drawings. I can’t tell the difference – the boy certainly inherited his dad’s talent. I notice that the blurb inside says ‘copyright Mrs Roger Hargreaves’ which made we wonder if maybe his wife now writes the stories, using her husbands name? The internet let me down on this and I don’t know the answer. yep I came to this via ggl: Mrs.Roger.Hargreaves bcs I was wondering.

Free to Be ... You and Me
I was trying to remember... I remembered pink with little people on it ~ making shapes ... rg did not know it ... I was googling "childrens record me you" without much success. and I wonder if I have noted it here or on dlww or on dlcs? then I remembered "free to be me and you"! but that did not get me a record. finally wkp search free to be me --->
Free to Be… You and Me:The album has become a cult classic across the United States amongst many who were children in the 1970s.
Using poetry, songs, and sketches, the basic concept was to salute values such as individuality, tolerance, and happiness with one's identity; a major thematic message is that anyone, whether a boy or a girl, can achieve anything one wants.
SEE PICTURE cupcake club: February 2005 Archives: "Did you have 'Free to Be You and Me' when you were growing up, or were you raised by wolves? The nicest human parents in the 70s gave their kids this record to learn the songs about non-sexist gender roles (it's better than it sounds)."

dog happy
Dog that takes itself to the pub (on a No 10 bus) | July06 the Daily Mail
Like many country folk...
friendly busdriver, and barmaid, and farmer owner. it's like heaven.
-This is a very clever dog, who proves to us once again that dogs are people too
'Everyone loves him,' said farmer Gary Kay, 41, from Dunning-ton, a few miles outside York. Mr Kay said he believed Ratty's first visit to the pub was probably an accident.
'The bus stop is just along the road and he must have just happened to come across a bus. He ended up getting on and then getting off when everybody else did - which was when it hit York - and just walked straight into a pub.
'The people there ended up fussing over him so much that he ended up making a habit of it. that's cute. and smart. On the first occasion somebody spotted he was my dog and telephoned me to come and get him. But a girl behind the bar lived in the next village to me so when it continued she would bring him back in her car with her. It was funny because I would get a call every now and again to come and get him - I suppose that must have been when the barmaid wasn't on - and I would just pull up outside the pub and he would run out and jump in. I must have had to go and get him about 20 times.' what a sweetie.
Since his ban Ratty has been seen riding the school bus. Mr Kay added: 'I've had kids phoning me to say Ratty was on the bus with them. I've no idea how he gets home - he drives me mad.'
Peter Edwards, commercial director for the bus company First, said: 'I've heard of dogs waiting for people to get off buses but nothing like this. We don't charge for dogs so there's no reason why he can't get on.'
Clockwise from top left: Ratty, a Jack Russell, trots to the bus stop and selects his favourite seat before getting off at the pub.
Twice a week he would trot out alone through the farm gates, jump on a number ten bus and head for his local, the Black Bull. The five-year-old dog would stay all day at the pub in York, where he had his own water dish and was fed his favourite sausages. He would even get a lift home at closing time from a friendly barmaid.
But suddenly his social life was left in ruins after the Black Bull was taken over, the barmaid left - and animals were banned. 'Dogs are not allowed in the pub,' declared duty manager Carl Sage. aw. Ratty's owners feel it can be only a matter of time, however, before he finds a new watering hole.

wandering scuffy tugboat
Wandering Significance: An Essay on Conceptual Behaviour -by Mark Wilson
0199269254.jpg
Jacket illustration by Tibor Gergely from Scuffy the Tugboat by Gertrude Crampton, copyright 1946,1955 ... Used by permission of Golden Books ...
Scuffy the Tugboat (Little Golden Storybook) - by Gertrude Crampton:
Scuffy the tugbaot is one of the few books that have the meaning of there's no place like home.
A Kid's Review - December 14, 2006
Scuffy the tugbaot is one of the few books that have the meaning of there's no place like home. Scuffy the tugboat is about a little boat who thinks he has bigger priorities than hes given. Scuffy doesn't want to just sail in a tub or the sink, Scuffy wants to go on the a big adventure. As Scuffy went on his adventure he realized that he didn't a big river all he wanted in his life was a young boy, a guy with a poke a dot tie, and his favorite bath tub.
Modern Art Notes: For the kind among you who emailed to ask why I hadn't written word one about Robert Smithson's Floating Island (the photo at left, of Scuffy the Tugboat pulling the Island, is by this guy) on MAN, here's why: I wrote about it for today's LA Times. I'm pretty sure I have a few nuggets that no one else has written. I love the Island. It's proof that conceptual art can be visually engaging, that it can amuse and delight, that objecthood is as important as a smart idea.
