The Caldecott Medal Winner of 1966

1965's ALWAYS ROOM FOR ONE MORE took the '66 Caldecott Medal for best illustrations in a children's book.

Octopussy

 

James Bond author and creator Ian Fleming died in August of 1964, leaving behind not only the well-known 007 novels but also a handful of short stories. In the summer of '66 those final short stories were collected in OCTOPUSSY AND THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS, posthumously published to some success as there was no new Bond film that year. 

The above was the version I bought for a dime in 1972.

Even girls had their own comic books in 1966. By Stan Goldberg for marvel no less!

Donruss Marvel Cards

These silly cards with mostly unfunny (and sometimes misspelled) captions--to say nothing of the horrid coloring-- came out in '66. On the back were puzzle pieces. Here are the Captain America ones.
