Since I'm not overly religious but still love me some Peter Spier, I thought it the perfect season to trot out this miniature medley of awesome. You know how I love wee little boxed sets, and this one is no exception. Peter's detailed drawings work perfectly here in a trio of tiny paperback, accordion-style books that have a delicate diorama feature in the back.

You'll just have to wait and see that one for yourself. Have a great one.

Wish I had an extra $100 of disposable income for these...I'm not sure I want to know how much you thrifted them for but I will be keeping my eyes peeled!
Three dollars from a used bookshop.
I wonder if I'm the only person who finds these things and actually allows her child to play with/read them?
Oh I'd love to run into a set of these some day. I first discovered Peter Spier at the friends of the library book sale and have been on the look out for his books ever since.
I would totally let my 4 yo enjoy these. The only books he's not allowed to read with on his own yet at the special ones from my own childhood.
