\"\"<\/a>Longing to dress up your home with some outmoded images of freaky-lookin’ kids or laugh-inducing images of freaky-lookin’ animals? Look no further than Art.com, where you can get almost every imaginable type of image to be printed for you in poster size, including the following GEMS, which are the covers of some now out-of-print (whew!) books once published by Rand McNally.<\/p>\n

Click on each poster to read more about it and\/or make a purchase. Note that if you search the Art.com site for "children’s book" you’ll find still more of these beauties.<\/p>\n

*****
When Mommy was little, phones weren’t portable, but they sure were SPECIAL!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cute or creepy? You decide.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Does this turtle look overweight to you?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

"Y’see, Mike? We can fight this fire one-handed!"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Because "Benjamin Engamin" was just too ridiculous.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

"Extra eyeliner helps me keep an eye on my baton!"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I love that they’ve chosen to feature "The Naughty Side" of this book, rather than the "Goody" one. (Note the tears of anger\/shame.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

"I LOVE WEARING NECKERCHIEFS!! Scout’s Honor!"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For the record, Gareth and I will be taking a Honeymoon at some point during the months following our wedding, but a Punnymoon is not on our agenda. I’m guessing a Punnymoon is a several-days-long bus (or TRAIN) trip, during which an overly chatty tour guide tells the WORST JOKES EVER, accompanied by winks and elbow nudges. ("Did you get that one? Hunh? Hunh?")<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
 
GAH! My eyes! My eyes!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

OMG. Latawnya the Naughty Horse<\/a> has relatives!! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Otherwise known as "Charlton Heston for Children."<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A kinda pathetically cute excerpt from the Ten Commandments for parents<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I should note that Art.com also carries a lot of beautiful book images painted by N.C. Wyeth for those of you who are more keen on, say, putting ACTUAL art on your walls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But something tells me those Rand McNally covers will generate more conversation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
