The illustrations by Charlot, including endpapers that match the dust jacket, amply enhance this charming story. The Near Fine dust jacket, with $3.50 price intact on flap, is marred only by very slight edge wear on tips and top of spine, and a very little dot of missing color on the back. The jacket also shows the Newberry Award proudly displayed on its front. Signed by Author(s).
