Welcome to Souvenir Saturday (and possible Sunday). Here’s a wonderful children’s book “Jiminy Cricket – Fire Fighter”. From 1956, this little book is similar the golden gems books, but this one is published by Simon & Schuster. While most of the book takes place in fictional homes of the characters, it is framed as being in Disneyland.
The art work is outstanding as it’s done by the Walt Disney Studios. I love Jiminy Cricket and there are some fantastic renderings here of the little guy. You can download the entire book at the link below.
Jiminy Cricket Fire Fighter 1956 - 60mb
Only a limited cast from the Disney animation vaults made it into this little book, but it was some fine casting indeed. Here are a few snippets of who’s in the book.
This of course reminds me of one of Jiminy’s super safety films from the 1950’s “I’m no fool with fire”. I have them all on 16mm film; someday I’ll figure out how to project, scan & post them, until then, enjoy this YouTube clip (link).
