Food is Fun

Happy Friday everyone! Last night while trying to organize one area of the garage I came across these two cookbooks. I remember finding the first one and bought it for some reason. I don't collect cookbooks but do have a few with Ad Figures on them. One day months later I found a second Food is Fun cookbook but with a different cover. Inside they are the same so I wonder why they changed the cover? One guess is they wanted a family feel to the book so the replaced the scary single lady with a Ethel Mertz looking lady and her one dimensional family peeking around the corner. Thanks for dropping by Have a great weekend.
