More Streets and Roads - 1956

This 1956 printing of The New More Streets and Roads captures the simple, earnest storytelling of mid-century children’s readers. Originally created to support early reading development, the book reflects a time when everyday scenes and gentle adventures were used to spark imagination and curiosity. The charming cover illustration of a quiet fishing moment evokes the slower rhythms of childhood summers spent outdoors.

This is the only available copy, now thoughtfully handcrafted into a one of a kind journal. Select pages from the original reader remain preserved among smooth, acid-free writing paper, allowing the gentle narrative to accompany your own reflections. The softly worn cover adds to the authenticity and warmth of this charming educational volume transformed into a creative keepsake.

This journal makes a meaningful gift for collectors of vintage school readers, educators, parents, writers, and anyone drawn to nostalgic childhood imagery. It is ideal for journaling, creative writing, sketching, memory keeping, or recording simple moments inspired by quiet outdoor adventures.

As with every Red Barn Collections journal, this piece carries the authentic character of its original printing and the careful craftsmanship that gives previously loved books new life.
