This well-preserved first edition is in near-fine condition, a dust cover is not present. The pages are tight and appear unread, and the book itself is tight and square. There is a mark on the page preceding the title page. First published in 1957, this anthology presents a rich collection of poems thoughtfully curated for children and families. Leonard Weisgard's charming illustrations beautifully complement the poetry, enhancing the reading experience. The poems are arranged into diverse categories, making the collection ideal for both leisurely exploration and purposeful reading.
