Margaret Wise Brown at her most joyful — a celebration of all the things a child can be friends with, from boats to bugs.
Written by the author of Goodnight Moon and illustrated by Garth Williams, The Friendly Book is a quietly luminous 1954 original in the Little Golden Book series. Good vintage condition for its age — covers worn and lightly faded, gold binding very worn, pencil "A" on front cover, "Sherry Kardash" written in ink on inside front cover. Interior notably better than the exterior; pages yellowing with slight corner folds and a couple of small stains. No tears or missing pages. Please review all photos including zoomed condition shots.
A meaningful find for the Margaret Wise Brown collector, the Garth Williams enthusiast, or anyone building a vintage Little Golden Book shelf.
