inside cover says "brand new book" copyright 1956. On spine side of back inner cover .. last page .. is the letter A

no scuffing on edges of cover though there has been a book plate on inner cover over "This LGB belongs to" which has been partially removed. Binding tight. I don't think it was a "favorite" book.

the gold strip on the spine is intact even where it covers the staples. No numbers on the pages... but if you count them like a book does, there are 24.
The cover is shiny with two little wrinkles from when they glued the page to the cardboard. One little 1/16" by 1/4" bit missing. Upper corner reads 268 25cents. back cover has advertisement for "Big Golden Books for growing minds".

The cover is pale green with a little light brown haired girl. She has a daisy chain in her hair... smelling a red/purple tulip. White daffodil. blue flower with bee. *censored* willows. her dress is pink with white ruffled trim. lettering is teal.

I have tried quite few times to post this reply but was unsuccessful each time.
