Written by Patsy Scarry and illustrated by Richard Scarry in 1955, this original Simon & Schuster Little Golden Book predates his famous Busytown series and shows his illustration style in an earlier, softer form.

For the Richard Scarry collector, the Little Golden Book enthusiast, or anyone who loves original mid-century picture books.

Richard Scarry (1919-1994) showed his portfolio to a Golden Books editor in 1948 after finishing his Army service, and spent the following decades illustrating for nearly every major children's publisher. His wife Patsy Scarry wrote many of his earliest Golden Books, including this one, years before Busytown and his instantly recognizable style made him one of the best-selling children's authors of all time.
