Also like the books about Angus the Scottish terrier, but those are from the 30's I think. I love the color palettes and the sense of movement in those books.

I've never seen THE QUIET NOISY BOOK. How perfect. I just blogged about DESIGN IS A DANDELION, from 1966. Had no idea about it until I stumbled into a used bookstore in Seatttle, and was just completely wowed. <a href="http://designofthepicturebook.com/2013/05/20/design-is-a-dandelion/" rel="nofollow">http://designofthepicturebook.com/2013/05/20/desi...</a> I love these!
