Inside the Industry: The first infant toddler book?

Joan and I were chatting yesterday, and we came up with this question:

Which board book do you remember as the first in the infant/toddler format?

I've thought through today and really think for me it's:

From 1940! Is this the first everyone else thinks of as well?

I won't review it just yet, but I would love for people to drop comments whether you agree or disagree.

Thanks for pausing to think and share!

    I definitely agree. What American baby hasn't spent some time patting the bunny? I wonder if Dorothy Kunhardt had any idea she was creating a time-honored tradition when she wrote that book.
