Donohue & Company in 1947, with this specific printing being part of the Collector's Edition released between 1947-1997. This charming book, originating from Chicago and New York, brings together a collection of children's songs enhanced by vibrant illustrations, making it an engaging resource for young readers.

This edition's scarcity and historical context add to its appeal for collectors and enthusiasts alike. The book is in good condition, maintaining its original hardcover format, though it lacks a dust jacket.
