I came across these cute story book/records in Vinnie's recently and of course, being the big nostalgic kid I am, couldn't resist them :-)
They were made in the 1960s and each book is beautifully illustrated and contains a double sided record.
I can just imagine a little kid all cosy in their pyjamas excitedly waiting for their Mum to flip over to Side B to hear how the story ended :-)
Aaah, life before MP3s, DVDs, WIIs...

I loved books on record when I was a kid. I always went mad looking for mum or dad to turn the record over so I could keep on with the story. At least they knew they had a good 20min stretch or so before I'd require their attention.
Omg I totally think I had bambi - wow....
I remember the record books from when I was a kid - especially Strawberry Shortcake - great find.
cute cute cute! Do you have a record player?
OMG! Flashback to the 1970s! I loved these things - forgot about them until you reminded me! Don't you love the are on the Hansel and Gretel?
I loved record books as a kid too, and can still remember my first little made of plastic record player! Sweet find :)

What a brilliant find! We always come home from our fave secondhand shop with at least 1 book for the 4yo (argh - overflowing bookshelves!). Last week I scored Blinky Bill for $2. A childhood favourite of mine.
OH! I LOVE those!!
I LOVE the way things like this can bring back childhood memories for our generation :-) LittleByrd - I don't have a record player with us here in Oz but isn't this just the perfect excuse to hunt down a gorgeous vintage aqua one!
What fun!
I remember these and the excitement of getting home to listen to them. You could order them in the Scholastic readers back in the day. Such a simple childhood joy...
