Gigglebaby Jones Stories & Coloring Book Nancy Marasa

This coloring book was inspired by a beautiful Missouri river dream. A place rich in German-American history and community spirit. Washington; my hometown. The town in this book is "Verbena". Meet young Gigglebaby Jones, an imaginative mid-1960's child. She loves Elvis, and the annual fair. See Elvis making a personal appearance at the historic Calvin Theater. He is also spotted at a local night spot, the Top Hat Club. (Of course, Gigglebaby wasn't present at that party). Admire her Autumnal hat, with harvest goodies, and a corncob pipe atop it. Meet her older brother, and step into a beautiful 3-story furniture store. I hear they have a crazy elevator! And what is the hidden treasure at the V. F. W.? Join her adventures in 38 full-page illustrations and 12 pages of charming anecdotes. Don't be surprised if you end up helping her look for soda bottles everywhere. The stores pay 2 cents for each returned bottle. That kind of money adds up! And are those children attempting to cash in the empties at Sharp Corner Bar? Try Wimpy's instead.
