A treasury of stories and poems for early readers — illustrated throughout by Richard Scarry at the height of his powers.
Merry Go Round is a 1966 second-level reader from Charles E. Merrill Books, featuring the warm, busy illustrations that made Richard Scarry one of the most beloved names in mid-century children's publishing. Stories and poems by various authors fill this generously sized hardcover, and the interior is nearly pristine — only a name written on the front cover and minor bumped corners give away its age.
A wonderful find for the Richard Scarry collector, or for an early reader who deserves a beautiful book with real literary weight.
