Item description from seller

Format is approximately 8.5" x 11". This is unpaginated (approximately 40 pages. Signed by the author on the half-title page. RARE signed copy. Cover worn, soiled, with small tears and edge rubbing. Some page soiling. Edward William Mammen (1907–1990) was primarily a distinguished American educator, academic, and author. Jessie Robinson (often cataloged as Jessie Howe Robinson) was a commercial artist and children's book illustrator active during the mid-20th century. A large and happy group, the Buttons asked nothing more from the world than to be able to go walking together on Sunday after the dinner dishes were done.

This charming "funny book" captures a nostalgic slice of family life. The book follows the Buttons, a large and incredibly happy group of six people.

However, navigating busy city streets as a cohesive unit of six turns out to be much more complicated and humorous than they ever anticipated. First Edition [stated] Presumed first printing.…
