this version of "the little red hen" is extra beautiful. online, it's more rare than other retellings. the cover features the brown hen wearing a bonnet, holding a piece of straw in her beak, and surrounded with four baby chicks.
the cover shows the original 29-cent price. the complete title shown on the title page is: "the little red hen/a favorite folk-tale."
this artwork was created by illustrator j.p. miller, with the cover by rudolf. it was published by golden press, inc./new york.
it would make lovely vintage decor sitting on an easel or standing on a bookshelf in a nursery, children's bedroom, or when staging a house for sale. if you're a homeschooling family, the book makes fun decor to decorate your educational area.
the few versions of this book for sale online are listed for higher prices, with one with some damage $14.99 and two in good condition $21.95 (with an owner's name written on the inside cover) and $25.00. all the books for sale ask for $4.99 shipping fees added in.
in other words, this one is a real bargain! the reason: the book has one bigger condition issue. some little person tore out the book's end pages. the last page on this particular book copy, therefore, ends with, "i will!" said the pig. if you're interested in just displaying the book, this would not affect its presentation as decor. some people might even want to tear out pages to frame and create unique vintage wall decor.
the book is in fair to good condition overall, but does have some aging. the cover and page corners show some normal wear and tear.
this cover features beautiful, old-fashioned artwork. this book is harder to find for sale online than other versions.
vintage item, as-is (please read the description carefully and take a look through the photos)
