This 1955 cloth book is part of Whitman's line of washable fabric books for infants, bringing the same mid-century care to fabric that the company gave to paper.
For vintage cloth book collectors, textile crafters, or anyone who loves the nursery aesthetic of mid-century America.
Whitman Publishing began in 1916 as a subsidiary of the Western Printing & Lithographing Company of Racine, Wisconsin, after Western took over the assets of a bankrupt Chicago children's book publisher, and became one of the most prolific children's publishers of the 20th century.
