Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. This is a "picture board" hardcover, with matching dust jacket. "First published in 1988 by Kingfisher Books" on its copyright page, so a first edition. This book is in near fine condition, marred only by light wear on its spine ends. Its binding is…sound and square, with no spine crease. Covers are bright, unmarked, and otherwise unworn. Pages are unmarked and unworn. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is also in near fine condition: whole, bright, and unmarked, with a trace of wear on its spine ends, but otherwise unworn. I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its new owner in the same condition as my description. Karin Littlewood (illustrator).
