Treasure Chest Thursday - "Sing Children Sing" Song Book
From storage... Nancy and I each have one of these, from Sunday School at Star Methodist Church, north of Coon Rapids, Iowa.
"Sing Children Sing" by Edith Lovell Thomas; New York City, July, 1939 (when I was born!)
Here is the inside cover, of mine! "Billy Smith"
[It says on left: To The Poets and Musicians who Pitched these Songs for Children's Voices]
I certainly remember using these as a youngster, in the 1940s.
Here was one of the more popular songs - All Things Bright
"All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them all.
Families are Forever! ;-)
"Sing Children Sing". It's great you still have those books.
ReplyDeleteThey're lovely things to have - memories of songs from childhood are so strong aren't they?
ReplyDeleteSo true. Thanks for stopping by! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this posting. I'm teaching a HISTORY OF THE BOOK course next fall and this is a great example. The bookplate in the front is wonderful and I even see a little marginalia on one of the pages you selected to scan. This is really a treasure!
ReplyDeleteWe were so happy to come across it, again. This book certainly has a special history! ;-)
