This heartwarming story features illustrations on every other page and is based on a syndicated comic strip. Copyright: 1939, Whitman Publishing. Format: Hardcover, 4 1/2" x 3 5/8”, page count 430. Condition of book is Very Good overall. The cover is only slightly edge-worn, and corners are curled a bit. The binding is secure. The pages are complete and in fine condition. There is a dark area at lower right/bottom when closed but this stain does not creep into any of the page edges at all (see last photo in series). I’m not a professional book grader, and these older books I’m selling may have additional small marks or flaws that are not mentioned here. Please examine photos and let me know if you need additional information.
