Half of them were published in the 20s with green bindings and belonged to my grandmother. Later books in the series had belonged to my mother and red bindings, following Mary Jane and her sister ("Miss Newr High School") Alice through Europe (in second grade, I had no idea how to pronounce this word but it sounded like a fun place with fabulous food - Mary Jane's favorite thing). They were charming books and included some memorable bits (especially one book which was influenced by Judson's own cooking radio show) but were too tame to appeal to my nieces at that age, alas.CLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595294217111602231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046320545497573335.post-13734828048042807652009-07-25T15:33:10.025-04:002009-07-25T15:33:10.025-04:00Thanks alot for sharing this article with us!

I have some friends who work at Rosen (college friends, oddly enough) and they told me one day about the old Rosen titles back in the stacks. The greatest of all these was, by far, "Dealing With Parents Who Are Activists." We promptly got a copy and gave to our best red diaper baby friend.

If you can find some of the old ads, especially in the wonderful Taaschen advertisement books for each decade, that had a list of the soups Campbell's carried, you'll discover they also made a mulligatawny soup.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00684124498981972463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046320545497573335.post-66162646592773228052009-07-20T09:57:51.147-04:002009-07-20T09:57:51.147-04:00Took a look at the JELL-O company website's hi...Took a look at the JELL-O company website's history of the company.

And old-fashioned drinks like sarsparilla, celery soda, Green River, and Moxie!<br /><br />My favorite children's book shout-out to Walter Cronkite is Daniel Pinkwater's <i>Lizard Music</i>. The protagonist is a Cronkite fan who would like to start a fan club but doesn't think any of the other kids at school would understand. So true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
