Book Comparisons

I'll show examples of the old version of Happy Birthday, Molly! with illustrations by David Gaadt and the new version with illustrations by Nick Backes. This book was difficult to locate, but thanks to Julia this page is now complete! I scanned a picture of the 1987 version from an old catalog. Be sure to click on the images if you want to see a larger version. I like this book because there is a girl named Emily in it! Woooohoo!
