Descripción
Little Quack by Ruth Woods was published by Follett Publishing Company in 1961. Not an ex-library copy, this 6" X 8", 29-page, believed-to-be First Edition offering is a Follett Beginning-To-Read Book in VG-/G- condition. This book, despite its 50 years, is physically still crisp and firm, but does display the signature of a previous owner near the top of front paste down page, a couple numbers in red marker in the upper right corner of front loose end page, and a couple pages in rear of offering have mild creases in the lower, outside corners, which I have bent back where they belong. The dust jacket, having done such an admirable job of protecting and preserving the book inside it, shows noticeable shelf wear, primarily at top and bottom edges of jacket's spine as well as at the four top/bottom edges where front and back inside flaps make their actual inward folds. Mel Pekarsky's frequent, color Drawings of Little Quack, his brothers, Blacky and Jacky, and other characters and settings within the story, are delightfully rendered. From front inside jacket flap, "His brothers think Little Quack is afraid of everything. But on a walk from the barnyard to the lake, Little Quack proves he is braver than either of them. A charming story with jolly pictures." There you are, Reader. This is a very clever, very successful attempt by Ruth Woods to convey to potentially, most assuredly, rather young readers(or listeners) the concept that STEPPING FORWARD AND GOING FIRST, or DISPLAYING CALM IN FACE OF POSSIBLE DANGER often times produces a positive outcome for those who venture forth courageously. See if you don't think that this might be a most useful, helpful little book, should you have little ones around you're trying to influence and guide. Thank you!!. N° de ref. del artículo 005093
