The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If you need to see photos of the actual book or have questions about the condition, please call or email.
Trubloff: The Mouse Who Wanted to Play the Balalaika, written and illustrated by John Burningham, tells the story of a young mouse who is entranced by musicians' playing and dreams of playing his own instrument. How he reaches his goal—and how that helps his family—is a fun little tale.
And in Petunia, I Love You, on the flip side, Duvoisin tells the story of Raccoon, who does indeed love Petunia, the goose, but only insofar as she will make him a good, juicy meal. With wits and luck Petunia manages to elude Raccoon and save his life as well.
