Favorite of the Week - Dean Walley - The Little Girl Story




I just love this cute little book by Dean Walley. This was published by Hallmark Books and I have always done well with the small Hallmark books by Dean Walley. This book is called The Little Girl Story: A Child's Experience of Growing and Helping. It was published in 1970, and has illustrations by Arlene Armacost and Gloria Nixon. It's about a little girl's life as she grows from toddler to "big girl" of 4 or 5 or so. Cute! http://cgi.ebay.com/The-Little-Girl-Story-1970-Dean-Walley-HALLMARK-Book_W0QQitemZ260271759838QQihZ016QQcategoryZ279QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247

    Hello! Does this story have a page about the little girl not being able to fit her hand in a jar any more?! I’m trying to track down a book I remember from my childhood and I’m wondering if this might be it! Thank you

    I remember as a child having two books a pink one and blue one. I remember my Dad reading them to me. The memories bring much relaxation. I have been looking for these books forever. I found The Little Boy Story which is the blue book and I will purchase it so I just need to find The Little Girl Story which is the pink book. I would love it if someone knows where I could maybe find it to purchase. Thank you Happy Memories with my Dad. 😊

    That is a sweet memory! I looked for The Little Girl Story and it appears there are copies available right now at both ABEBooks and Biblio. I hope this helps!
