This is the very rare early BIG BOOK, containing stories from the first pre-primer, WE LOOK AND SEE. In this edition, Sally is named Baby, and the illustrations are completely different from those in the NEW BIG BOOK. The display-size images are wonderful full color illustrations of Dick, Jane, Baby, Puff, Spot, and Tim. A wonderful artifact of mid-century US literacy education.

Illustrated throughout in color. [3]-30 pages (first leaf lacking as issued). Some marginal toning and light signs of use, shadows from removed tape on one page, moderate wear to binding.
