LE LIVRE DE JEANNOT.

N.P: LE GOUVERNEMENT DES ETATS-UNIS, ca. An interactive colouring book offered, presumably, by the U.S. Office of War Information to the children of France during WWII. A young boy named “Jeannot” shares his excitement and interest in the participation of the United States in the war effort for the Allies. Black and white pictures of warships, airplanes, officers - even Jeannot ‘s own pilot “father” are presented alongside outlines of planes, boat, tanks, even factories for a child to colour with the two-colour ( a red end and a blue end) pencil provided in a slot in the spine. A very good, clean survival of wartime propaganda directed at children. Ref. 17124 For the Children of France from the “Son” of an American Pilot Stapled pamphlet 12.7 x 13.8 with pencil enclosed in paper spine for colouring in red at one end or blue at the other; 30 unnumbered pp., with text and illustration, including front and rear inner covers printed on inner covers.

Original colour printed stiff paper covers with pencil, offering red at one end and blue at the other, in very good condition; internally fine.
