bible stories as told to very little children.

this weekend, i went home to san diego for a couple days. while i was there, i spent time with my beautifully glowing cousin who is in the family way and we decided to hit up a few thrift stores. which is where i found this:

 it's from 1937 so the fact that we're still years away from children didn't matter a bit. had to have it.

the pictures are sweet and the stories really are written in a good way for children, but are almost laughable to adults...

"Now, I'm going to tell you another funny name, which belonged to a king who lived in Bible days. This is a great long name, but I think you are big enough to say it, just as your big brothers and sisters say it. This is the king's name, Nebuchadnezzar. Did you ever hear such a funny name?"

and "When the Little Baby Moses grew up to be a big man, like our daddies, he saw that wrong thoughts were coming to King Pharaoh again, and telling him to make the Children of Israel work hard all the time and not to let them play at all. Never, never could they play."

probably the best dollar i've ever spent.

also, found this guy on the "vintage ornaments" table for a buck fifty and instantly fell in love. pretty sure he's my new favorite on the tree and possibly our first family heirloom ornament.

merry christmas!
