Description: ~ Collectable Children's Book, a popular title from this time, 1942. Complete with original dust jacket. I suspect it is the first edition although there are many online that claim their is a first edition but it is not clear. There are several different styles in which this book was printed. I am unsure of the "TRUE FIRST EDITION" presentation although, most of them do not have the jacket. Condition notes; Book is in overall very good condition for it's age, with some wear, primarily shelf wear to the cover corners and edges. The dust jacket shows the brunt of the wear and tear, and has a couple taped repairs to it but it is still complete. There are no torn pages. Pages are very clean but there is a faint old book smell to note. There is no writing.The binding is secure throughout. ------------------------------------------- - I try to take at least 3 good photos to help you make an informed decision so that you are confident with your purchase!

MY MISSION: I work very hard as a stay at home mother of two but I don't sell vintage children's books just for the profit, I do it because I love and cherish them. We live in a generation that has lost respect for books and the love of reading them with all of the high tech gadgets around today. My goal is to teach my children the importance and history of books and hopefully respect them as I do one day. Too many sellers out there want perfect collectors items and will discard books for minor cosmetic flaws and damage. This is more than disappointing to me and I make it a point to repurpose and mend damage to recirculate classic and beloved books back into the world because they are in affect becoming ever so scarce. Beloved children's books that people lived in their yesteryear are vanishing and my mission is to bring your favorite pastime stories back to you. Perfection should not be a do or die mission just because there is a tear one inch long on a page. The integrity of these stories are TIMELESS, if it can be fixed, it will survive countless additional years and hopefully inspire a new generation of storybook lovers!
