Let’s Play House — Lois Lenski, 1944

Posted on June 24, 2011July 27, 2015 by Martha

I was excited to find a copy of this Lenski book because, although I have seen the title in her bibliography,  I’ve never  seen any of the illustrations.  I don’t remember having any Lenski books as a child, but I bought “The Big Book of Mr. Small” for my son, Elliott, when he was little, and he loved it.  I’ve been a Lois Lenski fan ever since.

Whoever owned this book also loved it because it’s a mess.  The spine is broken; the pages are dark brown, loose and chipping; and someone tried to repair the book by using cellophane tape to re-attach the pages to the cover.  Here are some of my favorite illustrations from the book.

    This is one Lois Lenski book that I don’t have. I have several of her books, Judy’s Journey is one of my favorites. I love all the illistrations in her books. Love your blog!

    I eagerly look forward to these vintage treasures from your books. I can’t tell how much I adore these illustrations from Kids books. Thank you so much for the treat, Martha!

    I collect old school readers and I have several Lois Lenski books. Cotton in my Sack and Strawberry Girl are my favorites. I love your site !

    I adore Lois Lenski, and have a whole shelf-ful of her books, but have never seen this one. Thanks for sharing these! I discovered you tonight through Pinterest, and have especially liked the little boy and little girl paint book pages.

    Have a good copy of Let’s Play House, and A Dog Came to School. Great books.
