FIRST EDITION. 12mo - 6-3/4" x 4-7/16". Single staple bound as issued, color pictorial scallop-edged glazed paper wrappers with a chromolithograph of a toddler propped up on a pillow and clutching the letters "A" and "B" and with a "C" at her feet; wrappers detached from stapled text block and the front wrapper is coming un-glued at the tail of spine from a support paper that runs the length of the spine that the front and back wrappers are attached to for what is still a nice copy of the book. [8] pp. This is a simple alphabet book with each letter printed in upper case and paired with a verse and illustration that is in some way related to the letter, e.g., "A is for Ada too busy to play Because it is her heaviest washing-day. B stands for Bowl full of water and soap, She won't make herself very wet I hope. C for the Clothes she is washing so clean, For she said 'dolly's not fit to be seen';" illustrations and text printed in one of four alternating color schemes: all green, all gray, full color illustrations and black text, or all medium brown; internally the book is fine save for a rusty staple. The condition of the book is VERY GOOD. Only one copy located on OCLC/WorldCat (Koninklijke Bibliotheek). RARE.
