I love this book and got it for me niece or nephew that's on the way, but I was under the impression from the item that it was a new copy and I received a stained and damaged old one.

This was my favorite book 35 years ago & I purchased it for my 2 year old son. I’m tickled that he is very into books and loves to have us read to him! Reminds me of myself. This brings back such warm memories ones that I will cherish the rest of my life. I’m guessing my little one will read this to his babies in 30 years. Keep it going for many generations.
