By Miriam Blanton Huber, Frank Seely Salisbury and Mabel O'Donnell. Illustrated by Florence and Margaret Hoopes. Row, Peterson and Co. 1957 edition, earlier copyrighted in 1953 and 1938.
Primary enrichment text; contains seven well-known tales to spark the interest of the beginning reader:
The Gingerbread Boy, The Three Bears, Billy Goats Gruff, Mr. Vinegar, The Straw Ox, Little Red Riding Hood, and The Boy Who Went to the North Wind.
THE ILLUSTRATIONS ARE WONDERFUL. Graphics bright, drawings accessible and colorful. This is a great homeschooling reader.
Former library book from the Bakersfield California City Schools Library initially. It then made its way to the First Baptist Church on Ortega y Gasset in Rota (province of Cadiz) Spain.
Some edgewear, first few pages of text are rough: title page is partly split from page block, likewise Table of Contents page, first page of first story has a closed tear at bottom. The occasional small closed tear, for instance in The Three Bears. Otherwise tight, clean, signs of use but not abuse. Library pocket in rear, usual library markings.
