Item description from seller

First edition. Illustrated by Maurice Rawson. Octavo. 60pp. Cloth with publisher's printed cover label. A near fine, bright copy in very good dust jacket or better pictorial dust jacket has a few short creased tears, the unprinted verso is foxed, else quite bright. Rear panel of the jacket prints blurbs, about the book, by Alvin Tresselt, Eleanor Roosevelt, Norman Vincent Peale, as well as from various Jewish leaders. Inscribed by Orleans to Caldecott Medal-winning children's book author Alvin Tresselt: "For my good friend, Alvin Tresselt, who will find, I trust, these biblical poems, as palatable as my animal poems, which he included so graciously and tastefully in the Humpty-Dumpty Magazine. May there always be a rainbow in your firmament! Affectionately, Ilo Orleans. Sept. 9, 1954." Also inscribed by Ilo Orleans on rear flap of the dust jacket: "Greetings - Al to you and yours - and blessings for The New Year - Ilo Orleans.".
