Great trip down memory lane, some before my time and quite a few I'd forgotten all about. Cartoons today aren't what they used to be!

A fun and interesting read ... and a great trip down memory lane! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced reader's copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

This is a wonderful retrospective for anyone whose lives were enriched by Saturday cartoons, cereal and nostalgia. While it centres on its position in American society, and avid British fan will still find it a relatable read.

This book is American so some of the shows I don’t recall seeing over here but I loved the varied mix of Saturday morning cartoons over the years. Some well known others totally new to me.
Next to Walt Disney I loved all of the Hanna Barbera shows and reading about the company was a real eye opener.
The after these messages inserts are a lovely nostalgic twist about adverts that were shown during these shows for products that were all the rage of the years.
All in all it’s a lovely nostalgic look at when Saturday Morning TV was great for animation.

I devoured this book with a huge smile on my face. I was born in 1973 and this book is an amazing glimpse behind the shows that shaped by childhood. I also love the nostalgic glimpses into the products whose commercials also captivated us....shout outs to the Lite Brite and Battleship! I especially love the look back at School House Rock (Interplanet Janet is still my jam even thought "Pluto, Litlle Pluto" is no longer the fartherest planet from our Sun....ooo-ooo!) and the Superfriends (Wonder Twins Powers, Activate!) I can't even tell you how much fun I had reading this book. and I can't wait to pick up a copy for my coffee table.

I voluntarily read and reviewed a digital copy of this book. All opinions are my own. Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group for the opportunity to read and review this book
