If books stick like that--well. Maybe evidence this exercise will be loved in the way I hope

70. Homer I found these fellas at a reasonable price. I'd say they're elementary appropriate--stories are probably a little long for preschoolers. Thoroughly illustrated but maybe not an early childhood aesthetic. Still I appreciate the work and it had me thinking about Mythpic.twitter.com/aHE2Sl5QOy

Trouble for Trumpets but it's OOP and obscenely expensive

Yeah hasn't been reprinted for 30 years, all the high detail color pages probably cost too much to print https://petercrossart.com/books/trumpets/trouble-for-trumpets …
