The Fairy Circus
Picture book · ages 4–8 · 1931
A genuinely whimsical 1931 picture book with Lathrop's distinctive soft illustrations — the circus concept delights kids without plot pressure, though the pacing is slower than modern retellings.
Animals of the Bible
Picture book · ages 1–6 · 620L · 1965
A 1937 Caldecott winner that still holds up — beautiful, naturalistic illustrations and real information about animals cited in scripture, though the didactic tone and biblical framing may feel distant to secular families.
