Tan cloth boards with lettering in blue to spine and front board. In nice condition with the odd small blemish speckle but overall very clean.  Octavo-8vo – over 7¾” – 9¾” tall.   Hinges and spine secure, pages unmarked. Colourful blue-and-white penguin-themed endpapers.  Fore edges in good shape, without any bumping damage.  Dust jacket is not present, which is the case more often than not with this First Edition.

A delightful comedy of the Popper family and their houseful of penguins!  Mr. Popper’s Penguins is a 1939 Newbery Honour title and the basis for the 2011 film starring Jim Carrey!
