Label TextBeatrice Anderson brought her decorative approach to this cover of Junior Home. The stylized design is reminiscent of folk art. A magazine for young children, Junior Home included instructions for activities such as puppetry, paper doll-making, woodworking, and plays, as well as fiction and articles about history and music. A parents' department offered sections on nutrition and child care.
