A Pony for Linda
A Pony for Linda, by C.W. Andersen, The MacMillan Company, New York, 1958
Inside are highly rendered pencil drawings pretty obviously made from photos- there's just a quality of light to them that looks like a black and white photo.
Girl riders, horses, and Linda's gracious gift of the trophy and blue ribbon to the other girl who had to travel farther for the competition after the judges couldn't decide on a winner- I guess this is what you'd call Chick Lit.
But the cover- heavy. Terrific pale green cloth background that feels very spacious and distant, and then the title and images sit right on the surface like they're rubber stamped.
The more I look the more I think, Chick Lit- look at the dainty pointed hooves.

What's Inside of Me
What's Inside of Me, Herbert S. Zim, illustrated by Herschel Wartik, William Morrow & Company, New York, 1952
This book is kind of creepy, but I can't decide if it's a good kind of creepy or a disturbing kind of creepy.
