LITTLE JACK RABBIT'S BIG BLUE BOOK BY DAVID CORY

 David Cory was a popular children’s author and commentator of the 1920’s. In 1915 He began writing a daily “Jack Rabbit” bedtime story for the New York Evening Mail and for the next forty years his stories were syndicated in newspapers as well as broadcast on the radio. They were then compiled into a series of books.

LITTLE JACK RABBIT’S BIG BLUE BOOK contains twenty-nine of his bunny tales. Published in 1924 by Grosset & Dunlap. The name of the illustrator is not mentioned in the book. However, a signature is found on the last illustration in color: Webb.

It may be that the illustrator was Margaret Ely Webb (1877–1965). She was an American illustrator, printmaker, and bookplate artist. She was part of the Arts and Crafts movement of the early 1900s. I show some illustrations by M. E. Webb:
