BOOK DESCRIPTION:  K/M Kane/Miller Book Publishers., Brooklyn, New York, and LaJolla, California.  A Cranky Nell Book.  1999.  Hard Cover.  BOOK CONDITION:  GOOD.  Dust Jacket:  VERY GOOD.  Not price clipped.  Covered in protective mylar.  An ex-library copy with one marking on title page whited out (very negligable).  Library pocket not evidenced, probably not affixed to this book (digital tracking)?  Illustrated hard boards in colorful motif done by Pep Montserrat, the artist for the book.  Whimsical figures throughout to appeal to the young child.  This is a work of international fame, having won awards such as "Best Illustrated Book for Children" in Spain, 1997.  Really is special, and if not for the creased pages from children over time, it would certainly qualify as VERY GOOD in reading content.  There are no crayon scribblees, stains, tears, or missing pages.
