I caught a cold while on my vacation, and I am having a terrible time trying to recover from it. I am really excited about the next group of items that Rick Beckham submitted as guest exhibits though, and so here is the first exhibit for October.

Growing up, I remember Little Golden Books, and later Scholastic, but there were many other publishers of children’s books at the time. One such publisher was Wonder Books. According to the Internet Speculative Fiction Database, Wonder Books published eight books featuring Harvey characters. The first was in 1960 (right in the middle of the run of Matty’s Funday Funnies on ABC), and features Little Audrey, enjoy!

Little Audrey and the Moon Lady Wonder Book

UPDATE: It seems that Mr. Karswell posted the whole book on his “and everything else too” blog back in 2010, you can read it here:

and everything else too: Little Audrey and the Moon Lady

Long-time readers of the Mercheum Blog may recall that Mr. Karswell’s blog encouraged me to start documenting the Three Dimensional Stickers in the permanent collection.
