Girl holding a gift in 1964

Things seen in the photo:
* Top left: a white man named [redacted], he was a fireman. He is pictured wearing a wristwatch and a fireman's outfit/uniform that he didn't really like. He might have called the uniform a monkey suit, and he might have disliked it because he had to wear it everyday. The outfit was from the [redacted 2] Fire Department (located in [redacted 3], a United States state). The man is the father of the girl seen in the photo.
* Middle left:
** a white automan ottoman maybe. It was a white ottoman (a smallish type of furniture) or a white padded bench thing which is seen at the end of a bed. Maybe the mother of the girl got rid of the coffee table for a while so she didn't hurt herself on a corner of the table.
** some blue wrapping paper on the ottoman which was probably previously used as gift wrapping for her birthday present (which was probably the pictured book)
*** It is almost certainly gift wrap, and not product packaging for diapers, and in the image it is probably not diapers which she is seen wearing. What is the girl in the center of the image wearing that isn't diapers? Could have been training pants: for when young people are learning to use the bathroom but sometimes have accidents.
*** Pooh Bear was created before the 1960s (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnie-the-Pooh), and the present wrapping features blobs of color which might represent the following characters: pink=piglet?, orange=tigger?, yellow=Winnie the Pooh?
* Bottom left: a red legging/red leotard/red sock which went above the knee of the leg and is being worn on the leg of [redacted 4] (the owner of the coat seen near the top right)
** This red item of clothing implies that she was probably wearing a dress or a skirt at the same time; there is a very small possibility that it was a leotard which was worn under pants, and the person wearing it would also be wearing a shirt.
* Bottom left corner: a shoe worn over the red clothing item
* Middle, top left: white curtains
* Middle, left, upper: cord to the lamp, cord to the telephone. The telephone wire is probably described at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RJ11 and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2488884
* Middle, left: a paperback child's book being held by a child. She might have wanted someone to read the book to her.
** The book was about a racoon (most likely) or an owl (less likely) or a mongoose (even less likely) or a lemur (least likely). The girl holding this children's book probably had the book until she was five years old at max (it was possibly given away or something when she was 3, 4, or 5).
* Center: a white girl who is at a minimum almost 2 (1-3 months away from being 2 years old); this means that it would be 1964. At a maximum she is 2 1/2; this would mean that the photo was taken in 1965. Since it is possible that her birthday is seen in this photo, the date the image was taken can be said to be [redacted 5] 1964. The date of birth of the female (pictured in the center) is [dob redacted], and her name is [redacted 7].
* Middle, upper: not the coat of the girl seen in the center; it could've been [redacted 6]'s. The coat is seen along with a mitten, and the coat which has a floral design is on a brown blanket which is on a brown leather recliner chair.
* Top right: probably a lamp
* Bottom: tan or light brown carpet

This photo was taken in the same house as the images seen at https://archive.org/details/toddlerblazonrockerhorse (book still not identified) and https://archive.org/details/childchristmas1966or1967. The location captured by the photo is most similar to the photo seen at childchristmas1966or1967.

I can't really read the English text seen in the book, and I felt like searching the web to find this book. The first word in the circle seems to be "The", and the last word on the purple circle seems to be "Book". What might the two words between "The" and "Book" be? The third word seems to be "Animal" (stated with less confidence than "The" and "Book"). The second word seems to be "Maker" (stated with less confidence than "Animal"). What is "The * Animal Book"/"The Maker Animal Book"? It is a book where the front cover (or back cover) has a purple circle with white text in it; the circle is outlined by yellow. I found a significantly similar-looking book at https://archive.org/details/babyanimalbook00davi - 1964 book with a raccoon on the cover! babyanimalbook00davi shows the white text "The Baby Animal Book" in a blue circle with a yellow outline around the circle. I can tell that this book (Open Library work: OL15425667W) is seen being held in this photo, for in both images the circle is near the raccoon's ear; the circle is in the top left of the front cover; the tan/brown and black striped tail is seen under the head of the raccoon and the circle; and the orangish and black stripes (of the tail) and coloring of the grey fur of the body are also seen in the same locations. I guess the circle on the cover of the book (Open Library edition: OL24394450M) appears purple and not blue because the colors in the photo with the girl with blonde hair are sort of messed up. It is that, or, there is a version of The Baby Animal Book (published by Golden Press in New York) with a purple-filled circle instead. Web page https://archive.org/search.php?query=%22The%20Baby%20Animal%20Book%22 had one result in Sunday, November 22, 2020 11:14 AM GMT: archive.org/details/babyanimalbook00davi (has the text "The baby animal book\\\\by\\ Davis, Daphne; Pineo, Craig, illus").

JPEGCrops was installed to "Volume in drive E has no label. \\ Volume Serial Number is 6330-3030" > "E:\\user\\Music\\JPEGCrops\\" via "Volume in drive E has no label.\\Volume Serial Number is 6330-3030" > "E:\\user\\Documents\\JPEGCrops0.7.5b.exe". I ran "Volume Serial Number is 6330-3030" > "E:\\user\\Music\\JPEGCrops\\JPEGCrops.exe" and losslessly rotated and cropped this photo. JPG image scan0001-6photos.jpg was rotated 90 degrees to the right and then cropped with a free aspect ratio. The output was set to "Serial Number is 6330-3030" > "E:\\user\\Pictures\\scan0001-6photos.jpg"; I then realized I already had JPEGCrops at "6330-3030" > "E:\\user\\Pictures\\JPEGCrops.exe" and "E:\\user\\Pictures\\jpegtran.exe" - *facepalm*.
