About this Item

This is a pristine and unread copy from the fourth printing of the first edition, a book which has been stored flat in archival conditions since it was issued while I escorted the illustrator on tour while working for her publisher. Please see my attached photos of this book and the signature.

About this title

Synopsis

When Peter Rabbit is invited to a housewarming party by one of the Three Little Pigs, a behind-the-scenes adventure begins to unfold. This collection of previously unseen letters from the land of make-believe offers us a rare and fresh glimpse into the lives of well-loved characters. Along the way, Goldilocks makes a much happier return visit to the Bears' house, finds Peter Rabbit's lost jacket, and befriends Little Red Riding Hood. This delightful tale of interconnecting friendships, written by Alma Flor Ada and enhanced by Leslie Tryon's detailed and engaging pictures, is sure to warm the hearts of young and old alike.
