It all starts with a fighting brother and sister, who make up with the help of another sibling. When the family begins fighting with their noisy neighbors, it's music that brings them together. Soon the whole town is marching in a parade, and eventually the parade swells to include the whole country, and even the animals. By the end of this optimistic picture book, the whole world is united in friendship.

When Daddy Had the Chicken Pox
by: Ziefert Harriet; Kalish Lionel Illustrator

Hardcover. NY, HarperCollins, 1st, 1991, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. Color art by Lionel Kalish. Clean copy. Three siblings have a bout with the chicken pox, and their father comes down with a bad case as soon as they recover. It's their turn to help nurse him back to health in a nicely done role reversal. He misses his daughter's ballet recital and has to bathe in oatmeal to help the itching. The kids are worried, but things pick up as he recuperates and all ends well.

Vintage & Collectible Children's Picture Books

This section brings together used, rare and out-of-print children's illustrated books, where the artwork matters as much as the story. Expect picture books, illustrated readers and treasuries from a range of decades and artists, such as W.W. Denslow's Denslow's Picture Book Treasury and Emily Arnold McCully's Crossing the New Bridge.

You will also find storybook favorites like Jan Wahl's A Gift for Miss Milo, Randall Jarrell's Fly by Night and Philippe Dumas's Caesar: Cock of the Village. Many titles are earlier printings or hard-to-find editions prized for their plates, endpapers and jacket art, and are described down to their condition and binding.

As with all used and rare stock, condition and availability differ between copies. Most are single copies, so order online while yours is listed.
