Up to now I have kept myself within the "adult" parameters of chapbook offerings, but I found this cool 1968 Golden Book which is within the chapbook ideal so I wanted to acknowledge it.
The Cowboy Book
Mel Crawford
Golden Press
New York, New York
(c) 1968
Unnumbered pages, color images throughout. Okay, it's the shape that got me. It's very cool and I am sure that kids loved it when it came out. There isn't a "story" here but it's an early reader so having a story is less important than reading the words. Really interesting all the same!
Brats
X. J. Kennedy
Illustrations by James Watts
The Trumpet Club
New York, New York
(c)1991
A collection of poems for young readers, with illustrations by James Watts. 42 pages. Staple-bound.
Aleutian Islands: The U.S. Army Campaigns of World War II
George L MacGarrigle

26 page history of the US assault on the Aleutian Islands during WW II to drive out the Japanese is here presented with color maps and B&W photos. Great for World War II buffs.
