Zustand: Fine. First edition. First printing of this lovely and slightly surreal collection of rhymes about a pair of children and their dog. Publisher Harlin Quist had an eye for the unusual, and an affinity for the avant-garde. Before his series of picture books began in 1967, "few books published for children had collectively raised such consistent debate and discussion, applause and criticism" (Paley, 111). He worked with a variety of artists to create a spectrum of attractive illustrated titles, from the delightfully spooky penwork of Gorey to vibrant and rather psychedelic watercolors of Etienne Delessert and everything in between. 7.5'' x 7.5''. Original color pictorial wrappers. Illustrated in color. [32] pages. Clean and tight.
Zustand: Very Good. Very Good condition. Very Good dust jacket. 4 Book Set. Slipcase Very Good. (Horses, Fiction, Juvenile Fiction) A copy that may have a few cosmetic defects. May also contain light spine creasing or a few markings such as an owner's name, short gifter's inscription or light stamp.
