Betty's Checkerboard Cat on Wood Panel grass The wheels roll along just

The wheels roll along just fine

with a pretty full lot of crayons inside and a paper insert listing the colors in German

linen it seems

they make a terrific clap when struck together

uncloying way

Betty's Checkerboard Cat on Wood Panel grass The wheels roll along justI really wish I had other works by the Betty Groose (or similar), who made this in Miss Adams' classroom, grade school I would guess. It's almost as if she was anticipating the digital age, dividing the cat into pixels, though seems more likely she might first have taken a stab at it using graph paper, and then recreated it free hand much better with the squares getting a little wonky here and there. Just great. 9 13 16" w x 7" t x 1 4" d. Crayon on
