Old Hat New Hat – 1970

This playful journal is handcrafted from a 1970 printing of Old Hat New Hat by Stan and Jan Berenstain, a bright and cheerful favorite from the classic Bright and Early Books series. The charming cover artwork, full of color and gentle humor, captures that warm nostalgia of early childhood reading and carefree imagination, making this journal a delightful place to jot daily thoughts, creative ideas, or little moments worth remembering.

Inside, ALL original story pages are preserved between clean sheets of smooth, acid free writing paper, offering a perfect balance of story charm and practical space for writing. The journal is hand bound to lay flat for comfortable use whether you’re journaling at your desk, sketching on the go, or making notes on your next big idea.

Each Red Barn journal is handcrafted one at a time using genuine vintage books, ensuring every piece is truly one of a kind. Light signs of age on the cover and interior only enhance its authentic character and history, making this journal an especially sweet find for collectors, Berenstain Bears fans, and lovers of classic children’s book art.
