About This Item
New York: Clarion Books / Ticknor and Fields / Houghton Mifflin, 1987. Book club Edition (?). Hardcover. Fine/fine. Small quarto, 150pp., illustrated. Spine slightly cocked, but still a near fine copy in a fine dust jacket. We're slightly stumped - there is no number line or printing statement on the copyright page, nor is there a price on the dust jacket. However, this book won the Newbery Medal, and there is no medal on the jacket. Likely a book club edition.

A Newbery Medal Book. This title has been selected as a Common Core Text Exemplar (Grades 2-3, Read Aloud Informational Text)

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
