Item description from seller

Color map inside front cover (half missing), and inside both sides of back cover. Cover quite worn, soiled and shaken. Some pages soiled and marked with crayons. Watty Piper was the pseudonym for Arnold Platt, one of the founders of Platt & Monk. From Wikipedia: "Holling Clancy Holling (born Holling Allison Clancy, August 2, 1900 September 7, 1973) was an American author and illustrator, best known for the book Paddle-to-the-Sea, which was a Caldecott Honor Book in 1942. Paddle to the Sea won the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1962. In 1966, Bill Mason directed the Oscar-nominated short film Paddle to the Sea, based on Holling's book, for the National Film Board of Canada. Born in Jackson County, Michigan, Holling graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1923. A number of his early works were first published by P. F. Volland & Co. He married Lucille Webster and within a year of their marriage accepted a position as art instructor on the first University World Cruise, sponsored by New York University. For many years, Holling dedicated much of his time and interest to making books for children. Much of the material he used was known to him first hand, and his wife Lucille worked with him on many of the illustrations.".…
