Just What the Doctor Ordered

Just What the Doctor Ordered
Samuel Lowe Co., 1954

Identified on the cover as a Bonnie Book this is another of the Little Golden book-like size and format publications attesting to the latter's market success. Just What the Doctor Ordered is presented here for its notable front cover feature, the die-cut window revealing an Rx (medical prescription). And what of the emblazoned "hafta"? How does that figure into our nation's education challenges; harbinger or result?

The various games, puzzles, riddles etc. seem culled from sources or a sensibility predating the Fifties, in some cases going back to, like, the twenties. Odd.
