Condition: VG. Garth Williams,Tibor Gergely (illustrator). Once called "laureate of the nursery", Brown (1910-1952) spent much of her childhood in the woods on Long Island chasing dragonflies and climbing cherry trees. She acquired a menagerie of pets that included one dog, 36 rabbits, a cat, a squirrel that bitme, 7 goldfish and 2 long-haired Peruvian guinea pigs. She quietly told children to listen to the sound of the sun shining. You'll love the story of Mister Dog who belonged to himself and found a little boy fishing who also belonged to himself. They went to a butcher shop to get his poor dog a bone and gave himself the bone and trotted home with it. He invited the little boy to come and live with him in his two story dog house with a kitchen upstairs. There they fixed themselves a good dinner three times a day because he liked to eat.
