The Little White House, by Odille Ousley and David H. Russell
If you have followed my blog for long, you will know that I really like vintage primers and readers, especially the "Dick and Jane" types. This one, The Little White House, was printed in 1953 by Ginn and Company, and was illustrated by Ruth Steed and Ellen Segner.
This book is full of easy to read stories about siblings Tom, Betty, and Susan, their parents, their dog and cat, and also extended family that live out on a farm. We learn about their house, their pony, visits to the toy store, birthdays, and much more. I just love the illustrations in this book, very appropriate for the time period in which it was published, and lovely use of colors. This one will be going into my collection.
