Rhymes, riddles, and things to do — a mid-century activity book that earns its title on every page.
Written by Josephine Van Dolzen Pease and illustrated by Helen Szepelak, The Busy Book is a delightful entry in Rand McNally's Tip-Top Elf Book series — designed to engage young readers with playful content that spans poetry, puzzles, and activities. This 1952 copy is in wonderful shape for its age, with only minor cover wear and light page yellowing.
A charming gift for early readers or vintage children's book collectors who love books with real personality.
