Twenty-three of the author's finest poems for and about children collected in book form. Lavishly illustrated with delicate, two-toned illustrations by the great Edward Ardizzone.

This is one of few copies of the First American Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a beauty.
