Condizione: Fine. First edition. First printing of this lovely and slightly surreal collection of rhymes about a pair of children and their dog. Publisher Harlin Quist had an eye for the unusual, and an affinity for the avant-garde. Before his series of picture books began in 1967, "few books published for children had collectively raised such consistent debate and discussion, applause and criticism" (Paley, 111). He worked with a variety of artists to create a spectrum of attractive illustrated titles, from the delightfully spooky penwork of Gorey to vibrant and rather psychedelic watercolors of Etienne Delessert and everything in between. 7.5'' x 7.5''. Original color pictorial wrappers. Illustrated in color. [32] pages. Clean and tight.

One such publisher is Harlin Quist. His hallmark: imaginative, distinctive bookmaking." - The New York Times.
