Le Journal de Mickey #30 from France - Christmas Special

Let's continue the Christmas festivities, shall we?  Here we have issue number 30 of Le Journal de Mickey from France, the Christmas special issue from 1951.  While Le Journal never did a serialization of the film in its original release, this issue has a few Alice things.
First is a full page ad for Les Albums Roses - the French version of Little Golden Books.
In this detail you can see listing for the three Alice titles previously posted here, here, and here.
And a half-page ad for Tobler chocolate, featuring Alice in Wonderland.
The ad is presented as a comic strip (figures) of Alice and Dinah chasing the White Rabbit down the rabbit hole.  The ad also mentions the collectible premiums that I originally posted here.
I have to admit, the art on this is pretty bad, fortunately the art on the premiums is MUCH better.

Hi Matt! I love your blog. I happen to be a French collector of Les Albums Roses which you call the French version of the Little Golden Books. It's in fact more complicated. Most Little Golden Books were published in France as Les Petits Livres d'Or (the exact French translation) but for some reason the Little Golden Books that were signed by Disney were published in France as the Albums Roses series (which could be translated in English as The Pink Little Book series). Please see : https://lesalbumsroses.tumblr.com and https://petitslivresdor.tumblr.com and if some of your followers are interested in the French editions of these little books, let them contact me: paxson@gmx.com
