This Is the Disney Movie Adaptation
"Toby Tyler" (1960) is one of my earliest movie memories.

Whitman Publishing Company, 1958

One of those great Whitman books of the 50's, that reminds you how nice and tidy life was back then, and TV was the glue that held it all together!

This is a real delight. Great deal, recommended.
