I think you may be looking for the same title I was. Its called “My Alphabet” and is a Little Golden book. ISBN 0307101045 or 9780307101044 and by E. K Davis. I have found copies on ebay and alibris. It has a green cover and shows a red haired child reading a book which I believe is an alphabet book.

I was telling my wife about this book and how it might be good for our grandson. Went online and found this thread. Then dragged it out of my keepsake box in the attic. It's named The ABC Picture Book, by Florence Sarah Winship. Copyright 1940 & 43. I've got the whole book if anyone wants pictures, etc. I know how much fun it is to revisit an old book-friend.

The expression might have been ".....SO rosy and red" ! I recall hearing this expression on a Halifax, Nova Scotia radio station (perhaps CBC) during the WW!! years. It seems to me that it was used quite often during (or immediately following) a newscast. It never seemed to me to have any context to a news item. Some speculate that it was a form of messaging regarding the movement of naval convoys in and out of the busy Halifax harbor ! Perhaps someone can confirm, or otherwise.

I could continue...because my mother still has it memorized 50+ years later! We are looking for the book, of course, but first need to know what the title is!!

Thanks for your help!!

There used to be a Ladybird ABC book that was a bit like that. I learnt to read with it in the early 1950s. I remember it to this day, along with all the pictures. I'd love a copy, if you find it. I think it was just called the Ladybird ABC.

I may have a copy of the ABC book and I will look for it if you're still needing one. My father was the first president of Golden Books, so we inherited many uncirculated copies. So glad you have enjoyed Golden Books.
