  1. I really love these Whitman activity books, whether they involve stickers, crayons, or cutouts. Amazing that they produced Disney items for so many years - I have several Disneyland examples, some as late as the early 1970's.

    1. I've met the grandson of the man who used to run Whitman. He said the attic of their family home is packed full of old Disney books, games, and other Whitman items. I'm hoping he'll let me see it at some point.
