COUNTRY FAIR.

Edition: First printing.

New York: Greenwillow Books, (1997) dj. Hardcover first edition - The first book for children by this award-winning artist and illustrator - "a quirky, engaging look at the sights, sounds, and scents of a country fair. Whimsical watercolors are all color and squiggle . . The crisp, hand-lettered text forms squares around the object of discussion, or circles around like a curlicued pig's tail, or zigs like the flight of a yellow jacket. The language is funny and clever: Just-sheared sheep are 'clean and pink and naked, as if they've just stepped out of the shower and can't find their towels.' Pies are judged, corn is shucked, a blue ribbon gets eaten by the winning cow, and then everything gets cleaned up" (Kirkus Reviews) Received the 1998 Charlotte Zolotow Award Commendation. Square format, unpaginated. ISBN: 0-688155316.

Condition: Fine in fine dust jacket.
