About This Item
Racine, WI: Whitman Publishing Co., 1931. Color hardcover. Missing the spine, edges worn, a few crayon scribbles on text pages, a couple of short tears, still holding together, but.... Every other page is a full-page illustration in a very flat, poster style, nicely printed and bright. The book is two books, back-to-back, one the standard Chicken Little Henny-Penny schtick; the other is one or two page visitations of classic Mother Goose, Alice, gingham dog/calico cat, etc. - doesn't hold together as a story, but the art is really nice.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fair/No Jacket. Illus. by Peter Mabie. 9¼" by 10¼".
