You read to me, I'll read to you

The book is in fair condition, typical of an ex-library copy. The dust jacket shows noticeable wear, including edge tears and scuffing, but remains intact. The hardcover binding is solid, though there are library markings present. The pages are clean and the illustrations by Edward Gorey are vivid and clear.

"You read to me, I'll read to you" by John Ciardi, published by J. B. Lippincott Company in 1962, features the enchanting illustrations of Edward Gorey. This hardcover edition, printed in Philadelphia and New York, captures the whimsical and engaging nature of children's poetry. While the copyright page confirms the 1962 publication, the book's charming artwork and poetic narratives make it a delightful addition to any collection. This edition is particularly notable for Gorey's distinctive drawings, which add a layer of visual storytelling to Ciardi's playful verses. The book shows signs of being an ex-library copy, with typical markings and a dust jacket that exhibits wear, including edge tears and scuffs. Despite these signs of age, it remains a valuable piece for collectors of children's literature and Gorey's illustrations.
