About This Item
San Diego, New York, London: Harcourt Brace, 1989. First edition. Near fine in near fine dust jacket.. First printing of this collection of songs to sing to (and with) young children, including classics like "Eensy Weensy Spider," "Patty-Cake, Patty-Cake," and "Hickory Dickory Dock" - with a tipped-in bookplate signed by Jane Yolen. Jane Yolen is a literary all-rounder. From Nebula-winning SF short stories to historical fiction to cookbooks to poetry, Yolen has found success and accolades. Picture books are no exception: among her numerous works in the genre are two Caldecott Medal winners, beautiful collaborations with some of the most pre-eminent illustrators, and beloved bedtime story staples. In 2021, at age 83, she published her 400th book, and showed no signs of slowing down - "[m]y eye is on 500!" she gleefully reported, discussing her ongoing projects (Scalzi). 8.5'' x 11''. Original color pictorial boards. Original unclipped ($15.95) color pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated in color. [32] pages. Bookplate signed by Yolen tipped onto verso of front flyleaf. Jacket with a hint of edgewear, tiny spot of soil to rear flap. Binding with a touch of soil to edges. Sharp and bright.
