This is a wonderful New Old Stock illustrated dollhouse miniature children's book. The maker is Cottage Industries, and the book is still in its original packaging (a clear acrylic snap-case in an outer plastic bag with label. 

Because this has never been opened, I can not show photos of the inside of the book, but the label says it is an "Mother Goose 1934 Edition with color illustration Printed in color all the way through." This description does not mean that the piece itself is from 1934, but rather that the book is a replica of the 1934 edition of Mother Goose.

My assumption is that inside there is reprinted text as well as color reproductions of the illustrations from that book.

Obviously, since it has never been opened, it is in mint condition. 

The front cover features a color illustration of Mother Goose in flight. The back cover is identical.
