WHAT CAN I SAY ??! A  really   s-c-a-r-c-e AUSTRALIAN edition!! 

Just the most exquisite little collectible has been in our family all these 30 years!! A lovely copy was carefullt read a handful of times in the '70's and been instorage since! 

A Beautiful Little Golden Book. Front cover picture is unusual compared to most editions. It shows a pussy cat on a yellow/orange background with two little birds.

LEONARD WEISGARD’s artwork is gorgeous!  His work was used in other early Little Golden Books. Opinion is that the new edition is not as captivating as the artist has been changed.

A review ..........The illustrations on the original were by Leonard Weisgard, and were stunning -  I only hope that the new version does the original justice..

 Pussy Willow by Margaret Wise Brown,  .......This is one of the dearest children's books I have ever read to my children! It has such a poetic quality and such a sweet story. I have read it so many times to my children that our copy is falling apart. The one that I have is illustrated by Leonard Weisgard, and the pictures are darling.

Cute Little Kitty, Cute Little Story .........  This is one of my all time favorite books. I loved it when I was a little girl. I read it even today, when I need a little lift. It's such a cute story. This older version is the one to have; it's falling apart from repeated use. This is one of the greatest children's stories of all times, and your kids are sure to love it.
