Children’s Card Games (46)

This week brings you another game based on folktales: “Story Cards: A Fairy Tale Card Game,” published in 1965 by Ed-U-Cards.  Three tales are in it: “Red Riding Hood,” “Puss In Boots” and “Jack and the Beanstalk,” all illustrated in a curiously primitive and expressionistic style.  It’s hard to choose; but I can’t resist offering you this memorable wolf.

    It’s very, very scary! I saw a coyote on valentine’s Day! I think it was looking to show it’s love for the chickens next door.

    I looked at it again and I’m still very scared!

    It’s always wonderful to see a wolf in grandma drag……..reminds me of the man I married……
    I love the side profile with the #7 too

    No, I just post them here for the graphics. But they shouldn’t be hard to find.
