Curious George and The Initial Teaching Alphabet

I haven't blogged in quite some time.  Busy with life and various project.  I received my first official comment on a blog post the other day, and it inspired to write this blog entry.

I recently acquired an Initial Teaching Alphabet copy of Curious George [circa 1965] and wanted to share with the world.

Disclaimer:  Scholastic - I am not trying to violate any copyright laws.  I am displaying these book pages because I feel it has some actual historical significance on how NOT to teach reading and writing.  If we don't learn from history, we are bound to repeat it !

One humorous note:  I obtained this book off ebay.  The seller listed this as a foreign language book, possibly in French.  I do agree, it WAS written in a foreign language, LOL.
