Pictures by Marc Simont (illustrator). This is a lovely copy of this charming book illustrated with black and white pictures of fun in the snow for bears and mice and squirrels. Book is in clean, tight, fine condition. Jacket is crisp with NO tears. But as is visible in the picture, it looks as though someone may have lightly brushed an eraser over the image on the front panel. 4to. Pictorial paper covered boards. Same picture on book cover as on dust jacket Early vintage edition of this 1949 Caldecott Honor winner. Price on dust jacket flap is $1.75.

HC. B&W illustrations (illustrator). unpaginated This copy comes from the estate of Ursula Nordstrom that I purchased in the late 1990s, and am just getting to catalog. Ursula was the editor in chief of the Harper & Row childrens department from 1940-1973. The first edition of this title has the Harper & Brothers imprint, and later editions Harper & Row. This copy has two rubber stamps "Juvenile Department - Library Copy - Do Not Remove." Ursula obviously brought this early copy home. The differences between this copy, and the true First Edition I have are as follows: $2.50 price on jacket; paper covered boards BUT with a black cloth spine. Most interesting with this copy (1949 on title page) is the bio of Marc Simont on the back dustjacket flap now includes, "winner of the 1956 Caldecott Award." An interesting bibliographic difference. Images happily provided. very good w/good dustjacket (hardcover).

HC. B&W illustrations (illustrator). unpaginated This copy comes from the estate of Ursula Nordstrom that I purchased in late 1990s, and am now listing for the first time. Ursula was editor in chief of the Juvenile Department of Harper and Row from 1940-1977. This copy has full paper covered boards, including wrapping around the spine. There is a bump/break at the top of the spine. Dustjacket has $1.50 price and some chipping along the bottom. Later printings are Harper and Row. Happily provide images. good w/lightly chipped dustjacket (hardcover) SEE NOTE.
