New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, [1960]. Hardcover. Illustrations by Peggy Westphal. 8vo. Yellow cloth with black lettering and illustration, pictorial dust jacket. 63pp. Fine/near fine. Item #50977
Handsome, tight first edition of this collection of bug-theme children's verse. On the front flyleaf, Aldis signs boldly in black fineline, as does above her illustrator Westphal (with trademark ladybug sketch). Aldis (1896-1966) authored popular children's fiction and poetry from 1929 into the 1960s, and illustrator Westphal (1931-2006) was actually her daughter and this title her first appearance in print.
