Sometimes we forget the goofy things that made us happy or the simplicity and possibility that was our past. Our lives are made up of fleeting moments--moments we wish we could've written down. Babes Remember is just that: a list of songs, people, ideas, toys, and trends sure to stir up memories of days gone by and bring back the feeling of those moments. Organized into fun categories like On the Screen, Over the Waves, and On the Page; Rockin' and Reelin'; Fads in Fashion; and The Lingo, Man; this 300-plus list of people, places, things, and groups is sure to create laughs and tears alike.
Spurred by an afternoon of reminiscing, this book is an amazing array of cultural memory and makes an ideal present for those on the verge of old-timer-itis.
Turn the pages and you'll remember:
- Howdy Doody
- The Stroll dance craze
- The Mod Squad
- Mr. Tudball and Mrs. Wiggins
- Hand-cranked water pumps
Because a little nostalgia (from the 50s and 60s) can go along way--Babes Remember!
