I love looking through the children's book section at our local thrift store. I haven't been able to browse all that often but every time I have I've found some really great vintage books. Plus being able to buy six books for the price of one ain't bad either :). I love the color and graphic illustration on the "Ready to Roll" cover. But my favorite find this time was a children's poem book by Robert Louis Stevenson, A Child's Garden of Verses. Aren't the illustrations fantastic?! The poems are wonderful as well. My daughter and I had a great time looking and reading through it last night. There are several updated versions on Amazon, but I haven't seen one with these illustrations. Fun reads and great inspiration for under ten bucks is always good!

love them! i was just at the thrift store but blew all my time digging in the fabric bins.
I wish we had fabric bins to dig through! :)
I love the look of these books! One of Brennan's favorites is an old school Richard Scarry book. Good illustrations never get old :-)

I was at Habitat for Humanity the other day and in the back past the clothes where the dishes are on the wall by the emergency exit doors there are bins of fabric :) you can go through but I was not overly impressed with the prices but it seems that you have more patients than I do. I can only stand the general public for so long before I want to go home :)
Thanks for the tip! I'll have to check it out sometime :).
