The book is by Berta and Elmer Hadler (who knew?- a Wikipedia link.) and published by MacMillan in 1941, dedicated to Gayle. This apparently was their schtick, being Caldecott winners.
The activities happening in a small town (not unlike mine) are described with illustrations containing a plethora of visual features as accompaniment.
It's another world.
