A note for shoppers: like many children's books published in this period, the text uses racial dialect and stereotypes common to 1940s American children's publishing, and it is offered here as a piece of that publishing history rather than for how it portrays its characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecial features: Dorothy Wagstaff's illustrations appear throughout in the color and line work typical of the period, and the endpapers carry a decorative pattern in orange and red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Blue cloth hardcover with a color pictorial paste on illustration on the front board, no dust jacket; the top corners show visible wear and chipping. Please review all photos carefully, and email me with any questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThanks so much for visiting,\u003cbr\u003e\n❤️ Jess\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pretty Old Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52622894104866,"sku":null,"price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/0709\/9951\/files\/IMG_37962.jpg?v=1790277700","url":"https:\/\/prettyoldbooks.com\/products\/stories-of-little-brown-koko","provider":"Pretty Old Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
