The Armadillo From Amarillo

     This book is about Sasparillo, the armadillo. He learns about the geography, history, environment, and other animals of Texas, while young readers follow his full-color postcards to a cousin in the Philadelphia Zoo. (from Publishers)

     Hardcover Book with Dustjacket, same artwork on book's covers as on dustjacket; Hand-signed and inscribed in blue ink by Lynne Cherry on first blank page. The book belonged to Ruth Graves, who served as president of "Reading Is Fundamental" from 1976 to 1997.  Lynne Cherry presented and hand-signed this book to her in 1995 when she visited Washington DC.. I purchased the book from an estate, near where I live in the Washington DC area.  I can see the pen marks on the reverse side of the autographed page, so the signature is not a part of the book's printed type.  The autograph looks authentic.  It is very similar to Lynne Cherry's other authentic autographs I have seen on-line.
