This early 1900's book is very unusual. In all our years of collecting, we have never seen another one like it. It is a book for teaching words and letters to childrens. The Wonder Word Book has a hard board cover and a cloth binding. The binding has come unglued on the first page as can be seen in the photo, but all the pages are intact and together.
The inside of the front cover has an envelope containing 52 letters. These letter fit into cutouts in front of lithographs of animals. The animal paintings are wonderful. Included in the book are such animals as: cat, dog, parrot, lynx, parrot, leopard, buffalo, camel,beaver, swan, to mention a few. There are 20 animals. On the back of each page behind the animal is a little rhyme about each one. The book measures 8" X 11". It has 5 pages with 4 animals on each page. The condition is good for a book of this age. There is some yellowing due to age and the corners are frayed. However, we think you will be pleasantly surprised at the great condition of the antique book.
