This is a lovely book for probably ages 2 and up. Great use of imagination. Don't know why I never knew about it when our kids were younger.

small version of an old book
I like the large version better. Maybe sellers don't remember the first publication, but I do. I wish they would say it's small.

A Delicious Book for Children
Written in the 1950s, this timeless book is a delight for young children and for the child in all of us. Line drawings in purple create a world that beautifully demonstrates the magic of imagination.
