Description: Wow! In all our years of bookselling we have never come across the quality collection of illustrated children's that we purchased. We were delighted to find amongst other books by Maurice Sendak this wonderful little treasure. This was the first of many collaborations between Ruth Krauss and Sendak. Ruth, who more than holds her own as a writer, was the wife of Harold and the Purple Crayon's author Crockett Johnson. This particular title is included in Stan Zelinski's Children's Picturebook Collecting's Top 100. This is a must have addition to your collection. Publisher/Date: Harper & Brothers ; 1952. First Edition with Grrr-r-r on page 23 and 30-70 code at the bottom of the inside flap. This book is the hardcover edition. The text is unmarked. The binding is sound. The dust jacket has a plastic cover and is heavily worn around the edges with some creasing, several large closed tears, and a few chips. The page edges are toned with scattered foxing. The corners are bumped and the tips rubbed through. The previous owner's names are present.We treasure each and every opportunity to serve you!
