As I work through odds and ends to scan I have an anthology of children's science fiction. It is actually the 141 page section of Volume 16 of the 16 volume anthology called The Children's Hour. It is rare to see anthology like this. I chose to select some illustration to share. I will tell you the title of the story and the artist (if available).
Science Fiction & Readers Guide. (Volume 16, The Children's Hour) Edited by Marjorie Barrows. Chicago: The Spencer Press, Inc. (376 p. ) 1954.
What Time Is It? By Richard Elam. Illustrated by Hardie Gramatky
Mars and Miss Pickerell. By Ellen MacGregor. Illustrated by Paul Galdone
Lancelot Biggs On The Saturn. By Nelson Bond. Illustrated by John McKee
The Black Pits of Luna. By Robert A. Heinlein. Illustrated by Brinton Turkle.
An interesting Glossary of Science Fiction words found in the stories.
That's really interesting! The illustration for the Heinlein story shows a monolith like would be in 2001 10 years later!
