Beaver and Ivanhoe (1960)

Barbara Billingsley: June Cleaver

Quotes 

• Ward Cleaver : [reading a list of suggested books given to Beaver's class by Miss Landers]  "Here Comes Connie", "Hoppy the Kangaroo", "Little Claude", and "Penny Bobbins".

  June Cleaver : Yes, dear. He wants to pick one of those books to read. He wondered if you had any of them in here.

  Ward Cleaver : Well, I hardly think so. "Hoppy the Kangaroo" is just not the kind of book I like to curl up with.

  June Cleaver : "Little Claude", "Penny Bobbins". They sound so cute.

  Ward Cleaver : Cute? What ever happened to all the real "boys' books" I used to read? You know, "Two Years Before the Mast", or "Last of the Mohicans", or "Call of the Wild". Didn't you used to read books like that?

  June Cleaver : I'm afraid not, dear. The strongest thing they ever let me read was "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall".

  Ward Cleaver : Well, I think I'll see if I can't find him something a little more manly than "Here Comes Connie".
