This unique book is a true gem for collectors of children's classics. It was first printed in 1922 by Sam' Gabriel Sons & Company in New York. The language of the book is English and it appeals to children who love pets. The author, Edna Groff Deihl, has done a remarkable job of bringing the characters to life. The hardcover binding and 1st edition status of the book add to its appeal. The book is in its original form and has not been modified in any way. There is some penciling and weak binding.
