HARD TO FIND! Squiffy the Skunk by Grace Neff Brett | Photographs by George Neff | Rand McNally Elf Book, 1953 | Vintage Picture Book

This quirky picture book from 1953 features actual photographs of animals dressed up in different costumes to tell the story of Squiffy the Skunk who's quite certain something wonderful is going to happen today. And it does! Written by Grace Neff Brett and photographs by George Neff, the preface explains the process of creating these odd-but-fascinating images...

"The Remarkable photographs of real, live animals in Squiffy the Skunk were made by the photographer, George Neff, with the help of Grace Neff Brett. It was only by the use of unlimited patience and extremely gentle care with the animals at all times that Mr. Neff and Mrs. Brett were able to achieve these unusual pictures."
