[QUOTE="yourturntoloveit, post: 386842, member: 57"]From a book(let) entitled [U]A B C[/U] which I found this past weekend at an estate sale. No date but I believe it to be from the "Great Depression" era. It is a small "advertising" coloring book(let) (paperback) put out (distributed) by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. It measures 5-1/4" by 7-1/4 inches with each page having a drawing for a child to color (7 pages not counting front/back covers).
