New Releases by Eleanor Cameron

In the mid-1960s, author Eleanor Cameron was asked to write a pair of short stories to be used as part of a reading program for schools. Her stories were taken from the characters in her "Mushroom Planet" books and feature many of the same characters as well as a couple of new ones.Printed in small quantities and by a company that was only in business for under two years, this has all but been lost to history and rumor or history. But, now with restored illustrations and all of the "teaching" materials included, you have the opportunity to hold in your hand this rare book.NOTE: I have not been able to find who, if anyone, owns the rights to this gem. If you are and can prove you hold those rights, please contact me via Amazon. My intent has not been to make money from this booklet but to get it back out in circulation so everyone can enjoy it as much as we all have enjoyed Eleanor''s Mushroom Planet stories!
