"Walt Disney's Once Upon a Wintertime"  Little Golden Book #D12 Illustrations by the Walt Disney Studio, adapted by Tom Oreb from the Walt Disney Motion Picture "Melody Time".  (Walt Disney/Simon & Schuster, 1948 copyright, 42 pages).

** The cover art is by Tom Oreb (1913 - 1987), a writer and character design artist at Disney; some of the many films he worked on include Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, Sleeping Beauty, and One Hundred and One Dalmatians. 

 Once Upon a Wintertime was originally included as a segment in Disney's musical anthology feature Melody Time in 1948 and was reissued as a stand-alone short in 1954. It was a beautifully animated piece with no dialog, just a song by Frances Langford and a skating couple joined by two rabbits. This #D12 Little Golden Book version was released in 1950, and this time the couple Jenny and Joe do speak, alongside lyrics from the song.
