New York: Simon and Schuster, 1940. First Edition. Good. First edition, first printing, second issue. Bound in publisher's illustrated pink paper-covered boards; lacking publisher's box. Good or better. Heavy slant to spine with book almost sitting flattened, wear to covers heaviest at joints. Buttons missing from the button box, with damage to verso of page and causing damage to Daddy's scratchy face illustration. One of the most uncommon first editions in modern children's books.
