Little Golden Book Monday #84

Today's Little Golden Book is Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse and his Space Ship from 1952.
Text from the inside front page says; This is a brand-new story, written and illustrated especially for Golden Books. The Little Golden Books are prepared under the supervision of Mary Reed, Ph.D. formerly of Teachers College, Columbia University.
The Little Golden Books here bring you, in gay color, delightful stories and illustrations adapted from the world-famous Walt Disney Motion Pictures. In them you will find Pinocchio, The Three Little Pigs, Bambi, Dumbo, Uncle Remus, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, and many other well-loved Disney characters.
Copyright 1952 by Wald Disney Productions. All rights reserved throughout the world by Walt Disney Productions. Designed and produced by The Sandpiper Press and Artists and Writers Guild, Inc. Printed in the United States of America by Western Printing and Lithographing Company. Published by Simon and Schuster, Inc., Rockefeller Center, New York 20, NY.
The artwork inside is great. I really wanted to scan a ton of pages, but as I tried to open the book enough to put it on the scanner I could see that the spine was pretty frail. I managed to scan two pages, but as you can see, I only managed to get 3/4 of the page, but this will give you an idea of how wonderful the drawings are throughout the book.
