Do you remember Gallant and Goofus? (Hint: Highlights magazine) The model for Gallant died this past week.
I think Highlights was/is a fantastic magazine. I never had a subscription when I was little, but I used to read it somehow. (In the doctor’s office? Old copies from somewhere?) I remember all those questions on the back page that got progressively harder and harder. And I remember reading lots of Baba Yaga stories out of Highlights magazine. Baba Yaga, for those who were deprived of the experience, was a Russian witch character, and for some reason Highlights had a whole series of fairy tale stories about her. And I liked them.
We have a whole bunch of these childrens Hightlights magazines, if that’s what you were talking about. 😉
–The Shadow 🙂 (Brown Bear Daughter) Hehe! 😀
I am trying to locate a book that was about the Nitwit Family. It was all stick drawn figures, I thought the title was Mind Your Manners but I can’t seem to find anything. This was a hardbount book childrens book from the 1950’s – 1960″s. I just remember there was the “Head out the window Nitwit” and other safety guidelines for children. Any thoughts? Thanks
