About This Item

Small 4to (9 1/2" x 7 1/4"), pictorial cloth repeating Tasha Tudor picture on cover of a young blond girl holding a brown puppy, [32] unnumbered pages. Little Sally discovers her 5 senses in this delightful educational story with Tudor's lovely color illustrations. Tasha Tudor (1915 - 2008) was a much beloved and honored American illustrator and writer of many children's books--a number of them award winners! During her long life, she received many awards and honors, including Caldecott Honors for Mother Goose in 1945 and 1 is One in 1957. She received the Regina Medal in 1971 for her contributions to children's literature. Her books feature simple and often rhyming text accompanied by detailed and realistic drawings with soft colors. Text and pictures are often bordered by intricate details such as flowers, birds or other charming objects and animals. The visual or textual content often refers to traditions, artifacts or memories of the 19th century. Her books are highly valued possessions of an appreciative audience. She also created thousands of original works of art which appear on Christmas cards, Advent calendars, Valentines, posters, and in other forms. Clean, tight, bright copy with the least bit of rubbing to the extremities of the dust jacket, which has been clipped along its lower fold.
