Description: An outstanding copy of the first edition of this Petersham work. Fine gilt-stamped blue cloth hardcover in near fine pictorial dust jacket, with only a couple of tiny closed tears at the bottom edge. Bright orange endpapers; hinges perfect. Unclipped color pictorial dust jacket, fine in near fine dj. A 1942 Caldecott Honor Award winner, the book takes the alphabet letter by letter and highlights parts of early American history. An interesting and patriotic, if somewhat simplistic, depiction of early US history for young kids. Some of the illustrations and text may seem a bit offensive in today's world, but were typical for the time. See photos.
