Saw this in an antique store and couldn‘t leave without it. These are the editions I grew up with; my grandmother gifted them to me one by one. 💕 They were my first chapter books and made me a reader. She was an elementary school teacher in South Dakota (even in a 1 room school house).
By the way, we live in close proximity to Lake Pepin (The Big Woods), the connection with which I don‘t appreciate enough.
Thought of you @LeahBergen 😉

Amie My grandma gave me this same set, I think one at a time also. I still have them. My mom would read my older sister's hardcover set to me at bedtime before I got my own. Definitely made me a reader. 2mo
