An original 1953 Little Golden Book with Richard Scarry illustrations — before he was Richard Scarry of Busytown fame.
Written by Patsy Scarry and illustrated by her husband Richard Scarry in an early style, Danny Beaver's Secret is a collectible piece of mid-century children's publishing history. This is the original Simon & Schuster first release, now over 70 years old. Condition is good for its age — covers worn on both sides, back lightly faded, child's name written in ink on the inside front cover. Interior in very good condition; pages beginning to yellow with slight corner folds, but no tears, missing or loose pages. Please review all photos including the zoomed condition shots.
For the Little Golden Book collector, the Richard Scarry enthusiast, or anyone who appreciates original mid-century children's books.
