In the late 1960s and early 1970s Patterson Blick produced a popular range of educational and entertaining Instant Picture Books. The range was the brainchild of Dennis Knight, the author and artist on the series, who wanted to provide concise educational glimpses into a wide range of subjects for youngsters. Each book averaged 13 pages of beautifully illustrated content, including background scenes onto which the inserted transfer sheet images could be rubbed.
This index page shows the covers of each item I currently have access-to, alongside a title description. As each individual book's pages are published, its description will appear in BOLD WHITE TYPE, indicating that the pages can be viewed by clicking the relevant cover icon or title.
