And my favorite -- Those wonderful books by Richard Scarry - he was a magnificent drawer, too, and taught us little kids what's right and what's wrong (like: Baby Fox ran down the stairs too fast and he broke his leg. Mrs. and Mr. Fox were very sad. Children, you do not want your parents to be sad, do you? Baby Fox learned his lesson and went down the stairs slowly.)
I still own his books! And I'm not ashamed of it! Well, maybe a little...but still .
