Item description from seller

First edition. Illustrated in color by Maurice Sendak. 16mo. [24]pp. Pictorial papercovered boards, black cloth spine. Light foxing on topedge and bottom edge, boards trifle foxed, near fine in a lightly foxed, very good or better dust jacket. A story about a little girl, and Milky Way, her horse. The first book illustrated in full color by Sendak, who spoke highly of Krauss saying: "Ruth broke rules and invented new ones, and her respect for the natural ferocity of children bloomed in to poetry that was utterly faithful to what was true in their lives". Sendak and Krauss collaborated on nine books together, and inspired many to imitate their rebellious child protagonists.
