I picked this up last week at a book sale. Exploring Arithmetic - illustrations by Aline Cunningham & Nancy Murphy.
There are lots more illustrations throughout the book, like bunny rabbits on scales and girls doing fractions with cupcakes and slices of watermelon. Maybe I would have been better at math if I had pictures like this!?!

Sigh, my fantasy is to be commissioned to do a series of these.
I keep waiting by the phone...
lovely book and gorgeous blog!
I am never disappointed with your selection. Great finds
This is such an old post that you might not see this comment, but I'm Aline Cunningham's daughter and came across this nice entry about one of the textbooks she illustrated. Aline died in April 2009, and I'm sorry I couldn't show this to her, but my brothers and sister and I got a big kick out of it. She was a lot of fun as a mom and grandmother, and I love tracking down the books she illustrated. Thanks for noticing her work!
