A scarce Dr Seuss first edition to find thus with all the pages bereft of a child's scribblings, albeit that was the purpose of the book! A very good example, in the original first issue binding (later issues were published in glazed pictorial boards), without a jacket as issued.

First edition, first printing; small folio (280 x 200 mm.); colour illustrations by McKie throughout; publisher's colour pictorial cloth, slightly age-toned and rubbed at extremities, a few tiny spots but overall very good and internally
