Paper Dolls Back cover introduction to new series from Little Golden Books.

In the 50’s, the publisher developed several volumes that contained interactive features, like Words and Circus Time with it’s rotating wheel (below), and other volumes that included such activites with paints, stamps, paper dolls, stencils, and even with jig-saw puzzles. Many well-known illustrators collaborated with Little Golden Book’s, including Tibor Gergely, the artist responsible for Circus Time to create these interactive books.
