Item Details

Description

"The Whales Go By" by Fred Phleger, [edited by Dr. Seuss], illustrated by Paul Galdone, published by Beginner Books A Division of Random House, New York, 1959. Stated Book Club Edition. The "Beginner Books. I Can Read It All By Myself" with Cat in the Hat logo was a book club for the early readers founded in 1958 by Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel). Points of the first edition, 1959' printing: copyright 1959 without any other printings listed, no isbn, no barcode. "Bennett Cerf's Book of Laughs" (1959) is the last title in Already Published Titles list on the last page [See photos].

Illustrated hard boards [some wear]; 6.3/4" x 9.1/4"; illustrated endpapers, "(6)" is written on the front endpaper, 64 pages, fully illustrated, a little soiling and wear, very good condition.

"The story is gorgeous, the words there for the kids, the sentences written in the active tense, simple declarative sentences, teaching things even more than the words, in between the lines. This is a story of nature, comedy, and renewal. I can see why little kids of our generations read it again and again and again. Plus there was a back to back grand slam in the illustrations as well. They are beautiful, detailed, understated, warm and colorful. This book is a true masterpiece. There are qualities that cannot really be described about it, that touch a little person's mind. Fred Pleger really knew what he was doing, when he wrote it." [excerpt from a private review]
