Uncle Wiggily and His Friends Howard Garis Platt & Munk 1955 Children's Book.


This is a really really awesome find . The only blemish I could see in this book is that someone's name was written in script on the inside cover. Other than that I see no coloring, no doodles, no rip pages. No bent pages, no water stains. This is absolutely beautiful.



The original “Uncle Wiggily and His Friends” book came out in 1939, and the edition of this popular children’s book featured below was published in 1955.
