About this Item

First Edition with the "A" on final page. A little shelf-wear, especially on the golden paper strip over the spine, which is where the Little Golden Books tend to go first. SIGNED by Howdy Doody and Buffalo Bob Smith. Smith -- aka Robert Emil Schmidt (1917-19980 was a radio and television personality from (yes!) Buffalo who, through a series of events found himself at the helm of an enormously popular children's television show, which unlike other kids' shows, was not designed as a teaching device, but only to please the children. "Hey Kids, What Time Is It? It's Howdy Doody Time! (and the song, the words and music of which constitutes the last page of this book) would be sung in unison -- LOUD! Story of Howdy Doody, the Cowboy rodeo star, back home after a busy season, with the whole summer stretched out before him. He and his friends decide to start their own circus, so they take off on a plane for Africa, and recruit all the happy animals, including the Octopus which Howdy scoops up in a net while hanging from the plane.
