About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1942. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. First edition, first printing with 1942 listed on the title page. Good, lacking the dust jacket. Cloth frayed and rubbed through at corners and spine ends, faded at the spine and with two small stains. Pages lightly thumbed. Binding is strained and a little fragile, with several hinges exposed throughout. A nice copy of this scarce Caldecott winner.
Synopsis

Reviews
On Sep 24 2010, Respessbooks said:
I have loved this book since my own childhood. Its story develops themes of urban sprawl and its impact, on beneficial aspects of rural life, and on family commitment to choosing and working for what amounts to preserving traditions that protect open space, farms, homes, and health. But the story never loses its small-view perspective, readily available to a child's eye and sensibility, presented in simple, charming illustrations. It was a worthy Caldecott winner (1943).
