Last week, I wrote here<\/a><\/strong> about Sandol Stoddard Warburg’s The Thinking Book<\/em> (AMMO Books, May 2016), illustrated by Ivan Chermayeff<\/a><\/strong> and originally released in 1960, as well as Giselle Potter’s<\/a><\/strong> This Is My Dollhouse<\/em> (Schwartz & Wade, May 2016). Below is a bit of art from each book. <\/p>\n
