Background:

These delightful prints are from the First Edition of an early 1930s reading primer - Tots and Toys.   It is very typical of the tutorials published during this period.  While many of us are familiar with the "Dick and Jane" series, these prints feature "Mary Ann and Junior" as the hero and heroine.

The prints follow the adventures of Mary Ann and Junior around their home, going to the local pet shop and visiting their friend Joe in the country.
