Wake Up, City!
Alvin Tresselt, Roger Duvoisin
Hardcover
(Special Scott, Foresman and Company Edition (for the Invitation to Story Time Program), March 15, 1957)
1957 vintage HARDBACK by Alvin Tresselt with original lithographed pictures by Roger Duvoisin. Written before the era of working women, so one page reads "Fathers are hurrying to their offices. Mothers are making beds and washing dishes. And the children have left for school." Pictures are vintage too with stereotypical gender roles. Excellent look at the traditions of the past generation and how rapidly roles and expectations can change.
